Things You Can Do on International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day is a global celebration of women’s achievements, as well as a call to action for gender equality. It is an opportunity to recognize the contributions of women throughout history and to push for change that will benefit women around the world. As a woman-owned business, Bota Bota recognizes the importance of uplifting female voices and advocating for equality. Here are a few ways to help make a difference.

1. Support an Organization That Champions Women’s Causes

One of the most impactful ways to celebrate International Women’s Day is to donate to organizations that support women’s causes. There are many organizations that work to advance women’s rights and to provide resources and support to women around the world. Consider researching and finding an organization that aligns with your values and making a donation to help support their work. You can also consider volunteering your time with an organization. Bota Bota has previously volunteered at Petites-Mains, an organization that mainly supports immigrant women in need.

2. Attend Events

Attending events and rallies is another great way to celebrate International Women’s Day. Many organizations and groups host events to celebrate women and to raise awareness about issues affecting women. Attending these events is a great way to show support and to connect with others who share a passion for gender equality. You can also consider organizing your own event to raise awareness about a particular issue affecting women in your community.

3. Keep Educating Yourself

Educating yourself on women’s history and issues is also an important way to celebrate International Women’s Day. You can read books, watch documentaries, or listen to podcasts that focus on women’s experiences and contributions throughout history. We have also previously recommended a few books written by female authors. You can also learn about current issues affecting women around the world, such as the gender pay gap, reproductive rights, and violence against women. By educating yourself, you can become a better advocate for women’s rights and can help to push for change.

Showing your support and encouragement to the women around you can have a meaningful impact on their lives and can help to create a more equitable world for all. Remember, celebrating and supporting women is not just important on International Women’s Day, but every day.
