If you don't have any plans yet for IWD, here are some meaningful ways to celebrate them in your own space.
- Celebrate with other women virtually
The beauty of living in this century is that we can be with our people despite the distance. So get on a video call with your mum squad and talk about your struggles and successes in your workplace or in your community. You can even get everyone to wear something purple, the colour of International Women's Day and take a selfie doing the #EmbraceEquity sign.
- Celebrate an amazing woman in your life.
In addition, celebrate a woman who inspires you by giving her a call or writing a quick note on her social media page. It can be your mum, your boss at work, or even your child's teacher. A simple, "I admire you and I appreciate you" will make her day for sure.
- Be a game-changer by educating your kids about equity.
March 8 is a time to celebrate women and to think about how we can work together to make the world better for women and all genders.
So, how do you teach your kids about equity? Simple steps like encouraging them to speak up when they see someone being treated unfairly, and model inclusive language and behaviour in your interactions.
Teaching them about empathy also goes a long way in helping them understand the importance of putting themselves in other people’s shoes, which in turn can lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of equity.
- Watch a movie about a strong female.
Movie night! Get the whole family together and spend a couple of hours watching some inspiring films or even TV shows featuring the best portrayals of powerful women. If you're with kids, you can go for classics like Brave and Mulan. But my personal favourite is Legally Blonde.
- Read a book or a poem written by great feminists
A meaningful way to celebrate International Women's Day at home is by empowering yourself as a mum and as a woman.
Celebrate your inner queen and borrow a few verses from the literary world's most powerful writers and poets like Lang Leav, Nikita Gil and the queen of Instapoet herself, Rupi Kaur. A post shared by rupi kaur (@rupikaur_)
- Skip cooking and order your favourite meal or drink
It's your day, mum! You deserve to take a break. To celebrate International Women's Day at home, let your hubby take the reins in the kitchen or order a delicious dinner from your favourite restaurant and have it delivered to your doorstep. Then when the kids are asleep, raise your glass for all the beautiful women in your life and have celebratory drinks by yourself or with your supportive spouse.
