7 Ways to Celebrate International Women’s Day

Last updated on March 9th, 2020 at 12:09 am

On International Women’s Day (IWD) men and women celebrate women’s achievement, work to raise awareness against gender bias, and plan actions for equality. International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

 

1. Support the success of females around you.

All too often, women become jealous of friends and colleges who seem to be obtaining success faster than they are. Let go of your petty jealousies. Be proud when a woman succeeds. When one woman moves forward with her big dream, all women benefit. Remember that your dream journey is unique and it’s important to honor your path without being distracted by envy.

2. San Francisco: Galas & Speakers

Two events that both take place on March 8th at 6:30 p.m.

The French-American Chamber of Commerce San Francisco will host a gala dinner celebrating women’s accomplishments in business at Hotel Kabuki. Dr. Elisabeth Pat©-Cornell, Chair of the Management Science and Engineering Department at Stanford University, will deliver our keynote address.

The Bay Area Oxfam Action Corps is holding a very special free event, called “Ending Hunger Starts with Women.” The reception takes place at the David Brower Center in Berkeley. A film screening and panel discussion with some of our city’s pioneers for ethical change, food experts, and leaders in business and government will follow.

3. Atlanta: Movie Screening

TONY & JANINA’S AMERICAN WEDDING

Follow one Chicago Polish family through the red tape of the current U.S. immigration system. This film tells the universal untold human rights story of post 9/11, that every undocumented immigrant in America faces today and reframing the conversation for change.

March 8th from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Plaza Theater. Exclusive Q and A with the director following the movie.

7. Tucson, AZ & Online Shopping

In honor of International Women’s Day on March 8th 2011, Support for International Change announces the Tuko Pamoja Bag Sponsorship program in partnership with Positively Beautiful!

Every year Positively Beautiful hosts a day of beauty for 50 women in Tuscon, Arizona to assist them in overcoming the physical and emotional side-effects of living with HIV/AIDS.

The Tuko Pamoja Bag Sponsorship program is an opportunity to provide a gift for one of the women living with HIV/AIDS in Arizona while supporting another woman living with HIV/AIDS in rural Tanzania.

By sponsoring a Tuko Pamoja Bag for $26, you can bring 2 women living with HIV/AIDS 10,000 miles closer together and create a lasting message of hope and strength.

If you don’t see your city or country, click here to search through thousands of International Women’s Day events that are taking place all over the world.

The internationalwomensday.com is a hub of IWD events and information created by Glenda Stone, an Australian entrepreneur and women’s campaigner.

“A decade ago International Women’s Day was disappearing. Activity in Europe, where International Women’s Day actually began, was very low.

Providing a global online platform helped sustain and accelerate momentum for this important day. Holding only a handful of events ten years ago, the United Kingdom has now become the global leader for International Women’s Day activity, followed sharply by Canada, United States and Australia.

2011 will see thousands of events globally for the first time.”

-Glenda Stone
