Celebrate International Women’s Day

A tribute to the power of women

On 8 March, we celebrate International Women’s Day all around the world: this day is all about the strength and achievements of women. What started as a political movement for equal rights, has since developed into a day to reflect on the role of women in society. Women’s Day offers the perfect opportunity to show appreciation for the women around us, from motherhood to career, and from beauty to militancy.

The history of International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day, which is celebrated annually on 8 March, is deeply rooted in history. The first celebrations took place in the early 20th century, when women in the United States and Europe decided to stand up for equal rights and better working conditions. In 1977, the United Nations officially recognized Women’s Day as a global symbol of the struggle for equality and justice.

Showing appreciation

Although the struggle for equal rights continues, Women’s Day has also evolved into a celebration of femininity. It is an excellent moment to reflect on progress made and show appreciation for women’s achievements in their everyday lives. Whether you are celebrating mothers, sisters, friends, or colleagues, this day offers the perfect opportunity to thank them for their commitment and contribution.

Showing appreciation with flowers

Giving flowers on Women’s Day is a much-loved tradition. Spring flowers such as tulips, daffodils and hyacinths symbolize new beginnings and growth: very fitting for a celebration of femininity and spring. With a bouquet of flowers, you will not only add color into someone’s life, it also shows your appreciation.
