women’s achievements as well as for observing and highlighting gender inequalities and issues. But not just on IWD, but all year round, many organizations and individuals work tirelessly to support gender equality through a multitude of initiatives, causes and actions.
This day exists to celebrate the respect, appreciation, and love towards women, along with their economic, political and social achievements. Globally, the 2012 theme for International Women’s Day is Connecting Girls, Inspiring Future.
The ideas and celebrations behind Women’s Day is meant to be liberating and inspiring to people all over the world, however the reality is that we do not live in a perfect world, and women still suffer in their own unique way on a continuous basis. Many girls across the globe struggle to accept themselves for who they really are, and suffer with the idea that they have to look the way the media portrays women to be. Too many girls do not feel beautiful. Too many girls are not comfortable with their appearance. Too many girls lack confidence, resulting in disrespecting their bodies, eating disorders or mental health conditions. Young girls should not feel worthless and should not feel afraid to have standards.
For March, 8th, 2012 Women of all ages will be posting a self profile picture with no makeup, to give hope and to inspire females everywhere to get in touch with their natural beauty.
If Jersey Shore’s star, Snooki, can feel comfortable posting a picture without her famous poof and without wearing her many make up products for the world to see, then why not show your friends your own true beauty. This International Women’s Day, make a difference in women’s lives and help raise awareness.

Very inspiring. It is no longer women who need liberating; anyone who approves of this female degradation needs liberation. New fashions, job recruiting, discrimination against women in all walks of life, lower female salaries and so many other sexist practices require liberating actions.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it is the people with this mentality are the ones that need liberation. It is the minds that need liberation. Discriminations against women make it right from men to treat them as if they were inferior, and such actions must be stopped. These actions must be stopped, because no person should feel as if s/he were inferior, and be treated in a degraded way...
