For most many Sikhs following the message of our beautiful Guru Sahib's means International Women's Day is everyday! Nevertheless, this day is celebrated globally, especially to highlight increasing female issues such as domestic violence, rape, trafficking, the glass ceiling effect etc. So Kaurageous Leicester want to recognise the day.
What is IWD:
Annually on 8 March, thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate achievements. A global web of rich and diverse local activity connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, government activities and networking events through to local women's craft markets, theatric performances, fashion parades and more.
Many global corporations have also started to more actively support IWD by running their own internal events and through supporting external ones. For example, on 8 March search engine and media giant Google some years even changes its logo on its global search pages. Year on year IWD is certainly increasing in status. The United States even designates the whole month of March as 'Women's History Month'.
So make a difference, think globally and act locally !! Make everyday International Women's Day. Do your bit to ensure that the future for girls is bright, equal, safe and rewarding.
As International Women's Day falls on 8th March here are 8 amazing Sikh Bibia who have cemented the foundations of Sikhi through their unconditional love and KAURAGEOUSness! (yes a new word!).
