International Women's Day


Happy International Women's Day. March 8th celebrates the cultural, politic and socio-economic 
achievements of women around the world, dating back to 1911. Originally bought in to help protest and 
fight against labour rights, but now evolved into celebrating the achievements of all the women in our 
lives. We are still battling and protesting for the same rights as men. Having to face judgement based on 
our bodies, skin colour, sexuality and the fact that we are just women. 

Despite it being 2022, women still don't have equal rights. Women are more likely to face backlash and 
criticism in both their personal and work lives, compared to men. We still have to fight to have rights over 
our own bodies, over equal pay and so much more, all whilst facing harsh criticism.Whether you are 
business owner, stay at home mom, politician or veteran, you as a women help make a difference. 

I am proud to be a women. I'm proud to celebrate my achievements and positive successes as well as 
empowering other women around me. No matter how easy or difficult your journey has been, no matter 
how many times you've wanted to give up and thought the world would be a better place, no matter how 
many times you have been told you can't do something because you're a women, all has led to this 
moment. Your journey. Your story. This is a battle that we are constantly going to fight. However, I 
wouldn't have it any other way. 

As women we should work together, build each other up and empower one another. Don't hate on 
each other and swim in happiness at another women's discomfort or failures. Bringing down another 
women is something girls practice. Real women want to see each other win.

 Empowered women, empower women!
