BECAUSE TRUE EQUALITY MEANS HAVING THE POWER TO CARRY YOUR WORLD WITH YOU, WHEREVER YOU GO Celebrating International Women's Day: Pockets - A Symbol of Equality in Women's Clothing: - As the world celebrates #InternationalWomensDay, it's crucial to shed light on the seemingly small yet deeply symbolic issue that continues to persist in women's #fashion - the lack of pockets! In an era where women are breaking barriers, shattering glass ceilings, and demanding equal rights, it's perplexing that something as fundamental as #pockets remains a point of disagreement. While pockets may seem insignificant to some, they hold a significant metaphorical weight in the quest for gender #equality. The absence of pockets in women's #clothing is not merely an inconvenience; it reflects a broader societal trend of women being denied equal access and opportunity. Pockets represent autonomy, functionality, and freedom - attributes that should be essential in all aspects of a woman's life, including her #wardrobe. On International Women's Day, it's essential to recognise the importance of pockets beyond their utilitarian value. They symbolise a woman's right to mobility, #independence, and agency in a world that often seeks to confine and restrict her. In the fight for gender equality, pockets serve as a poignant reminder of the progress yet to be made. It's time to challenge the norms, dismantle #stereotypes, and demand inclusivity in every aspect of women's lives, including the clothes they wear. As we celebrate the achievements and resilience of women around the globe, let us also strive to ensure that every woman has the freedom to carry her keys, phone, and wallet - not just in her handbag, but in the pockets of her clothing. Because true equality means having the power to carry your world with you, wherever you go. This International Women's Day, let's rally together to demand pockets for all women - not just as a practical necessity, but as a symbol of progress, empowerment, and equality! --- Visit https://lnkd.in/eHhsdWhT to find out more KC Manufacturing

Happy International Women's Day to all the incredible women around the world! 🌟 Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women everywhere, past and present. I am deeply honored to have been invited by Thimo Schwenzfeier P&C Conscious Fashion Store Berlin to speak on the panel „Women * Care Together." It was a great exchange with Sema Gedik, Dr Franziska Leonhardt and well moderated by Anna Schunk. My take away from this great conversation is - Women need to make more demands! As we reflect on this historic day, the International Women's Day, and its origins dating back to the courageous actions of female textile workers in 1857 in New York, it serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality and justice. Intersectionality, as eloquently defined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, sheds light on the complex interplay of various forms of inequality and disadvantage that shape our experiences. It speaks to the undeniable reality that certain aspects of our identities can amplify both our opportunities and our challenges in life. However, as we navigate these intersections, we must also confront the uncomfortable truth that privilege and exclusion often go hand in hand. Self-interrogation is a crucial step on the path towards genuine solidarity and collective care. It requires us to examine not only the injustices that others face but also the ways in which we may benefit from systems of privilege and power. True equality demands a willingness to confront our own complicity in perpetuating inequality and to actively work towards dismantling these structures. As we come together to discuss how women can truly care for one another, let us commit ourselves to this process of self-reflection and accountability. Let us create spaces where all voices are heard and all experiences are valued. Only then can we hope to build a more inclusive and equitable world for generations to come. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of this important conversation and look forward to the insights and perspectives that will be shared. Together, we can strive towards a future where care and compassion know no bounds. #InternationalWomensDay #Intersectionality #GenderEquality #WeCareTogether #Solidarity #Inclusion #ChangeAgents #Blackfemaleleaders

Happy International Women’s Day to the incredible women in my world! Today, I stand in awe of the countless women who have shattered glass ceilings, defied societal norms, and blazed trails in their respective fields. Their unwavering determination and resilience inspire us all to dream bigger, strive harder, and break through the barriers that hold us back. This year's theme, "Choose to Challenge," resonates deeply within me. It calls on us to challenge the status quo, to challenge the biases and stereotypes that limit women's potential, and to challenge ourselves to be agents of change. It reminds us that our collective actions, no matter how small, have the power to shape a more inclusive and equal world. Today, let us celebrate the achievements of women, both past and present, and acknowledge the challenges they continue to face. Let us amplify their stories, share their successes, and stand shoulder to shoulder in the fight for gender equality. Together, we can create a world where every woman is empowered to fulfill her dreams and aspirations. So, here's to the trailblazers, the change-makers, and the unsung heroes who have paved the way for progress. Here's to the women who refuse to be silenced, who break barriers with grace and resilience. Here's to the future, where every girl can dream without limitations and every woman can soar to new heights. #InternationalWomensDay #ChooseToChallenge #EmpowerWomen

#TheMorningInclusive Mexico’s First Female President: Another Glass Ceiling is Broken We are at a monumental moment in history as Mexico celebrates the election of Claudia Sheinbaum, the first woman to ascend to the presidency. This groundbreaking achievement is not just a victory for Sheinbaum but a beacon of hope for women everywhere, signaling a new era of gender equality at the highest echelons of government. Claudia Sheinbaum’s journey to the presidency is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of representation. As a climate scientist and former mayor of Mexico City, she has shattered the glass ceiling with her data-driven approach and commitment to addressing inequality. Her election is a clarion call to women across the globe, affirming that they not only have a place but are essential in all positions of leadership. The significance of Sheinbaum’s victory extends beyond political boundaries; it is a cultural shift toward embracing diversity and inclusivity. Her triumph as the first female president—and as a person of Jewish heritage—reflects Mexico’s rich tapestry of cultures and the potential for unity in diversity, offering a beacon of hope for a more inclusive future. As we celebrate this historic moment, let us also acknowledge the work that lies ahead. Gender equality in leadership is not just about one victory but about creating sustainable pathways for women to thrive in leadership roles.

Your voice matters. And your time is now. Claudia Sheinbaum’s presidency is a milestone, but it is also a powerful reminder that the journey toward gender equality is ongoing and requires our sustained commitment. Let us continue to support and uplift each other, for when one woman succeeds, it paves the way for all. #GenderEquality #WomenInLeadership #HistoricVictory #Mexico #Belonging #Inclusion #Diveristy #Equity #Accessibility NOTE: This image was created by Copilot to represent this text.

International Women's Day is just around the corner … Still Needed? The iconic Vogue cover, featuring 40 diverse powerhouses like Oprah, Serena Williams, and Jane Fonda, is a powerful reminder: women are undeniably shaping the world. Yet, with International Women's Day approaching, a question comes to my mind: is this day still needed? The answer is a resounding YES! Absolutely! While strides towards equality have been made, the reality is gender disparity persists. Women are underrepresented in leadership roles, face unequal pay, and navigate persistent stereotypes. We still fight for fair representation, safety, and equal opportunities across all sectors, including the beauty industry. Here's why International Women's Day 💃🏿💃🏽💃🏼💃🏾💃🏻 remains crucial: 💃🏼 It celebrates achievements and empowers. It's a day to acknowledge the incredible contributions women make in every field, from science and technology to business and the arts. It's a day to inspire future generations and fuel our collective strength. 💃🏽 It ignites conversation and drives change. It provides a platform to discuss ongoing challenges and push for progress. It's a call to action for individuals and organizations to champion gender equality and dismantle barriers. 💃🏿 It fosters global solidarity. It connects women across cultures, backgrounds, and professions. It reminds us that we're not alone in this fight, and together, we can make a significant impact. Let's use International Women's Day not just to celebrate (for me 👉🏻 it is rather about awareness and visibility), but to ignite action. Let's challenge the status quo, support each other, and continue to pave the way for a more equitable future. Keep on ROCKING🤘🏻, kind regards from marvelous Milano, and have a great week, Nadine #IWD #EmbraceEquity #togetherwerise #womenempowerment #leadership © Vogue, March 2024 // Post Inspiration: Tijen Onaran

🌟 Celebrating the Rich History and Continuing Relevance of International Women's Day! 🌟 Did you know that International Women's Day has deep historical roots dating back to the early 20th century? It's more than just a modern-day celebration; it's a testament to the tireless efforts of women throughout history to fight for equality and recognition. In 1910, at the International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen, Clara Zetkin proposed the idea of establishing an annual International Women's Day. The following year, on March 19, 1911, the first International Women's Day was celebrated in several European countries, marking a significant milestone in the global women's rights movement. Over the years, International Women's Day has grown into a global phenomenon, observed on March 8th, with millions of people worldwide participating in rallies, demonstrations, and events advocating for gender equality. It's a day to honour the achievements of women and to reflect on the progress made toward achieving gender parity. As we celebrate International Women's Day, let's remember the pioneers who paved the way for the rights and opportunities women enjoy today. Let's also recognize that the fight for gender equality is far from over and commit ourselves to creating a more inclusive and equitable world for all. This year's theme is Invest in Women Accelerate Progress. We are interested to hear how you celebrate and what you or your company is doing to invest in women and accelerate progress. #iwd2024 #celebrateinstyle #genderequality

As we eagerly anticipate International Women's Day, this year, our celebrations are about recognizing women's achievements AND they're also about catalyzing tangible change and progress in our communities. The theme for this year's International Women's Day, "Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress," embodies a powerful call to action that resonates deeply. This theme underscores the critical importance of investing in women's empowerment to drive meaningful progress and foster inclusive societies. In a world grappling with numerous challenges, achieving gender equality is more crucial than ever. Research from the United Nations reveals alarming gaps in financing for gender equality measures, with an annual deficit of USD 360 billion. Addressing this disparity is essential for building prosperous economies and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come. Gender equality remains the greatest human rights challenge. At Preacta we are honored to be partnering with Dress for Success NSW & ACT, an organization dedicated to empowering women to achieve economic independence. By providing women with access to professional attire, resources, and support, Dress for Success NSW & ACT is playing a vital role in advancing gender equality and empowering women to succeed. But we can't do it alone. We're inviting our Sydney connections, clients, and candidates to join us in making a difference on March 8th, 2024 - International Women's Day. Drop by our office to donate professional contemporary clothing, high-quality costume jewelry, handbags, and footwear. Your contributions can significantly impact women's lives, helping them step into their careers with confidence. Let's rally behind the call to "Invest in women: Accelerate progress" and make a meaningful difference together. #InternationalWomensDay #CountHerIn #InvestInWomen #AccelerateProgress #DressForSuccess #GenderEquality #2030Agenda #Preacta #Empowerment

On this International Women's Day, let's celebrate the remarkable strides that women have made in every field.

In every corner of the world, women are stepping into leadership roles, innovating, and driving change. Their resilience, determination, and unwavering commitment inspire us all to dream bigger, reach higher, and push boundaries. Think about the women scientists who have unlocked the mysteries of the universe, the entrepreneurs who have built empires from scratch, the artists who have painted vibrant stories of humanity, the activists who have fought tirelessly for justice and equality, and the leaders who have transformed societies. Each success story is a testament to the limitless potential of women and a reminder of the importance of creating an inclusive world where every woman and girl can thrive.
