Why Women are Important Every Day of the Year

This week, I'm going to be talking about International Women's Day, but also why I think women should be celebrated every day of the year. I’m going to explain a bit about the history behind International Women's Day and really why we still need it, but also really the theme running behind it that I think women need to support each other every single day.

Here are the highlights:

(01:39) When International Women’s Day was first celebrated and why

(02:58) It will take 100 years to close the global gender wage gap

(03:55) Gender inequality has a negative impact on society as a whole

(05:06) Women supporting women is a powerful force for change

(06:03)  I believe this in-person meeting of women in circles is really powerful 

(07:39)  I believe that starting with small grassroots organisations and circles is a great place to start
