It’s International Women’s Day- Let’s #BeBoldForChange
March 8 is International Women’s Day (IWD). Though I have never officially celebrated this global event on Franticmommy, I really feel the need to do so this year. AND, I know I am not alone. The online world is bursting with quotes, marches and articles celebrating the woman who are united in masses to work towards transforming the tense world we all live in. International Women’s Day , in a nutshell, is a chance to celebrate, join together and ignite a global sisterhood.
The IWD website shares these thoughts and calls to action as well including a kick-butt good campaign theme for 2017: #BeBoldForChange
For International Women’s Day 2017, we’re asking you to #BeBoldForChange. Call on the masses or call on yourself to help forge a better working world – a more gender inclusive world.
Last year, organizations and individuals around the world supported the #PledgeForParity campaign and committed to help women and girls achieve their ambitions; challenge conscious and unconscious bias; call for gender-balanced leadership; value women and men’s contributions equally; and create inclusive flexible cultures. From awareness raising to concrete action, organizations rallied their people to pledge support to help forge gender parity on International Women’s Day (IWD) and beyond.

What You Can Do
I hope you join me in doing something to celebrate this monumental day. Maybe it’s just have a conversation with a friend about IWD. Maybe you can participate by checking out some #Kidlit books that ignite a global sisterhood and sharing them with your family.
What ever action you chose, just take actions. Thanks for listening and reading 🙂
