Women’s History must be celebrated and taught all year round, but March is the month to celebrate female historians, honor their legacies, and keep them alive. If you’re unsure how to celebrate Women’s History Month, here are five ways to honor women’s history during March and all year round.
Post on Social Media to spread awareness.
This is one of the easiest ways to honor Women’s History Month from the comfort of your home; posting a daily quote by female historians, actors, musicians, and more can help spread the word about Women’s History Month. Posting historical photos of women and what they did to change history is another great way to honor them and their legacies.
Write a “Thank You” note to a woman in your life.
A simple “thank you” note can go a long way, and writing one to a remarkable woman in your life who has inspired you or made a difference, is a great way to celebrate not only well-known and historical women, but everyday women who are also working hard to change and make history.
Support Women and the issues they still face today.
Although women have made a lot of progress in such a short time, women still face prominent issues today. These problems include harassment, gender equality in the workplace, equal pay, double standards, and more. In light of these issues, the best way to help women continue moving in the right direction is to acknowledge these problems and find ways to support them by donating, attending events, and more.
Support a non-profit organization.
What better way to honor women than by supporting an organization dedicated to improving their lives and helping them get back on their feet? Different non profit organizations that support women are: The Malala Fund, Girls Who Code, Women’s Refuge Commission, and more. There are also multiple ways to help/contribute to these organizations, including volunteering and promoting the organizations through social media to increase awareness. This way, other people will learn of their existence and step in to help.
Host your own event celebrating women in film.
Honoring Women’s History Month can also be entertaining and informative. Hosting an event where you and your friends can watch TV shows and films directed and produced by women. This way, everyone can gather and watch some of their favorite films while celebrating Women’s History Month creatively.
As March approaches and Women’s History Month begins, these are only a few ways out of many to ensure you celebrate the hard work and dedication that women have done in order to make history around the world.
