While today is a day for all people to celebrate womanhood and to celebrate the accomplishments of female-identifying people, it’s important to remember that March 8th, International Women’s Day is a day to celebrate the progress women have made towards gender equity and equality and fighting against sexism and oppression women across the world experience everyday. While huge amounts of progress have been made for women's rights over the past 100 years, it's important to remember that women are still fighting today, and every other day of the year, all around the world to help advance the cause of feminism. At CAP Consulting we work on projects everyday that remind us of how important feminism still is and make us proud to be a part of the daily effort to fight oppression. Today we celebrate, and every other day we make sure to do our part to ensure the next International Women's Day we have even more of which to be proud.
This is a great article from the Guardian that highlights how women around the world are celebrating today:
