Each year on March 8th, the world comes together to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD). It’s a time to honor the achievements of women, highlight the importance of gender equity, and inspire action toward creating a more inclusive world.
What is International Women’s Day?
International Women’s Day has its roots in the early 20th century, born out of labor movements and the fight for women’s suffrage. Officially recognised by the United Nations in 1977, it is now a global celebration that shines a spotlight on women’s social, economic, cultural, and political contributions. It’s also a call to action for accelerating gender equity—a vital step toward a more balanced and prosperous world.
How can you support International Women’s Day? You can start by hosting an event or networking session and invite a guest speaker who can share their experiences and insights on overcoming barriers and driving change. Or, to recognise the women in your workplace put on a simple morning tea and put together some branded giveaways.
Make It Meaningful With Branded Giveaways
If you’re a business looking to commemorate International Women’s Day, consider offering meaningful branded giveaways. Products like eco-friendly notebooks, desk organizers, or customized tote bags can serve as thoughtful tokens of appreciation for women in your workplace or community. These items not only celebrate the day but also reinforce your commitment to equity and sustainability.
