Ways to celebrate Women's History Month March 2020

Wondering how you can celebrate Women’s History Month 2020? We’ve got you covered with excellent ideas.

1. Explore the history of women’s rights. If you don’t know the history of women’s rights, now’s a perfect time to learn! 2. Be aware of issues women still face today. Although women have made progress, there are still areas where women face obstacles because of their gender. For example, women still earn less on average than men, carry the majority of household and childcare responsibilities, face workplace stigmas and double standards, and are under-represented in leadership, STEM careers, and politics. Plus, there’s domestic violence, sexual harassment, trafficking, and rape culture. Oh, and hiring bias, harmful beauty standards, and the pink tax. Do we need to go on? 3. Post on social media to spread awareness of Women’s History Month. 4. Support a women’s nonprofit. If you really want to make a measurable difference this Women’s History Month, support a charity that works with women and girls in need. 5. Host an event to celebrate women. An event is a fun way to acknowledge Women’s History Month and to build solidarity with other women 6. Support women-owned businesses. Women-owned businesses are on the rise, but women still represent the minority of business owners. Show your solidarity with these tenacious leaders, entrepreneurs, and service providers. 7. Write a thank you note to a woman that inspires you. A few simple words to acknowledge how another woman has inspired you can mean a lot to her. 8. Write yourself a love note.
