Wonderful Women of the World International Women’s Day

Get ready for a female-fuelled March, because International Women’s Day is taking place on Wednesday 8 March and the month of March is Women’s History Month.

International Women’s Day is a day to celebrate all the women in our lives. It’s also about celebrating women’s achievements, raising awareness about gender discrimination (that’s when someone is treated unfairly because of their gender or sex) and ghting for a world where everyone is equal. We can all play a part in creating an inclusive world. Here are some ways you can make a difference.

Challenge discrimination! If you hear someone say something like, ‘Girls can’t play football’, stand up and say, ‘That’s not true!’

Include everyone when you’re playing or working.

Make a poster to put up at school or church that highlights the importance of International Women’s Day.

Fundraise for female-focused charities, such as the World Association of Girl Guides and Scouts.

Follow your dreams and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something because of your gender or sex.

Show the women in your life how much you love and appreciate them! Make them a card (see page 11), give them a hug, tell them what you love most about them or whatever else you can think of to make their day special!
