International Women's Day is a time to inspire women and celebrate their achievements.
You might be someone that refrains from calling yourself a feminist and you're not alone. Somewhere along the line, society is confusing it as an aggressive, man-hating cult and that in itself depletes any effort of progression.
Here's the deal. The feminist revival isn't something to shy away from, or turn red at the mention of the very word. It's something to stand up and be proud about. Together. Men and women alike!
Guys, this isn't a personal attack against your genitals. It's about US. The true purpose of IWD is about calling for greater social, economical and political equality. That means it's as much about YOU as it is about us.
The theme for IWD this year is 'make it happen', so with this in mind we're showing our support and flagging up exactly what we think needs to change to make sure the future for women is bright, equal, safe and rewarding.
