The internet celebrates International Women’s Day

3y By Bongiwe Mati

International Women’s Day is an initiative that is meant to drive a gender-equal narrative.

In a world that is male dominant, the initiative recognizes women’s major influence, advocating for an unbiased world that is equitable, inclusive and free of discrimination and stereotypes.

 A world that honours and celebrates people’s uniqueness and differences while making sure that women are seen and viewed as equals.

This global women’s equality recognition day was first held on the 8th of March in 1911, with over 100 years in existence, International Women’s Day continues strongly inspiring many activists to fight harder for the cause.

In celebration of this global day, internet users all over the world shared their thoughts, wishing many women a happy International Womens Day.
