Do your bit for International Women’s Day – 8th March 2013
While women’s rights and status in society has been vastly improved for most of us over the past few decades, sadly, there are still numerous issues which need to be addressed. Here in the UK, we are quite lucky, but what about all of those women living in more oppressive societies? International Women’s Day is an annual event which celebrates the achievements of women and also champions further change.
This year, International Women’s Day falls on Friday 8th March. This year’s theme is “The Gender Agenda: Gaining Momentum” and thousands of organisations worldwide have been showing their support for women’s equality by organising events. Although the theme of the events may differ slightly from the official International Women’s Day theme, the underlying message is always the same – working together to strive for women’s rights.
If you would like to take part in this year’s International Women’s Day, there are already over three hundred and fifty events planned for the UK, so there is bound to be something you can get involved in. Remember that not all of the events take place solely on the day itself; there are plenty running for a longer period of time, giving you even more opportunity to do your bit and have your say. The full list of UK events can be found on the International Women’s Day website.
If you would prefer to host your own event, the website also contains videos, posters, badges and numerous other resources to help you to do it effectively. One woman may not be able to change the world, but we are all capable of becoming great role models.
