Whether you believe in having a day to focus on only women in the world or that gender should have no limits, you should use this day and make the most of it. If you want to help other women in your life, use this day to let them know you’ll be there for them even when others don’t.

  4. Abolitionist roots

    Because of its abolitionist roots, the early women's rights movement was limited to the northern states, and slaveholders in the South derided the women's rights movement at the time, calling it "a manifestation of northern degeneracy."

  5. Rising female literacy

    Rising female literacy rates in northern states were fundamental to the movement as they enabled rebellious individuals to express themselves and communicate with others on a large scale.

WHY NATIONAL WOMEN SUPPORT WOMEN DAY IS IMPORTANT

  1. It supports women's empowerment

    This day provides an opportunity to raise awareness about women's issues, such as violence against women, discrimination against women, and sexual harassment in the workplace. It also allows us to express our solidarity with them by supporting them financially or morally.

  2. It celebrates women's achievements

    We often forget that women have made substantial progress in various fields, like science and politics. We must celebrate their achievements by recognizing their contributions to making our society better than ever!

  3. It is a perfect time to express solidarity

    On this day, women stand together and celebrate their achievements, showing gratitude to one another. This puts an end to the misogynistic ideology that women are jealous and envious of each other. Now, it is the time for women to lift, empower, and encourage each other in the face of adversity.
