What does International Women’s Day mean to you?
“For the women who came before me and fought merciless oppression. For the women who were unable to vote, unable to drive and unable to have a fighting chance among their male counterparts- I dedicate this day to them. We were never the minority and we will never be. This day means the battles you fought were not in vain.” Farrah, Powerful Feminist
“ This is a day we can realise we all have common causes and if we unite, we can accomplish them.” Genevere, Engineer
“ March 8th is a day that is meaningful to me because it is a day that I can proudly stand in solidarity with the other Queens I share this Earth with.” Khym, Creative Designer
“It’s the women’s festival of the year and I think it should be kept by all women without exception, but of course it’s not. It’s good that it starts at the grass roots with the women garment workers. I haven’t missed it, if at all, since ‘72.’’ Allison, Woman
“It is a day for women all around the world, when we gather together and remember our fight. It’s a day when we take to the streets and demand our rights. It’s a day to respect and remember those women who are tortured, raped and killed.’’ Carmen
“ This dedicated day for a united cause means we have the power to be greater.” Jess, Student
“Women need to support other women more, period. This whole badmine culture has to stop if we want a different future for our children. We are the cornerstone of society and it’s time we start acting like it.” JoAnna, Yoa Instructor
“I dont know if it means anything, I feel like a woman each day.” Renee, Graphic Designer
“It is a day that allows you to pause and recognise all the strong women in your life, your circle and the the world. It is a day to pause from the craziness and be inspired …” Nadia
