Our doula team is filled with strong women who are extremely passionate about supporting other strong women through birth and motherhood. Less than 100 years ago, we would not have been able to have this career, and participate in activities like voting and contacting our local government leaders.
Here`s a little history for International Women`s Day today...
♥ International Women`s Day (IWD), marked annually on March 8, is a global day of recognition celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women while also calling for increased gender equality.
♥The observance dates back to the first International Women`s Day in 1911 when over one million people across Europe protested for women`s suffrage and labor rights, according to UN Women.
♥Today, IWD is celebrated in numerous countries around the world and is an official holiday in over 20 countries, including Burkina Faso, Cuba, Russia and Ukraine, according to the AP. The day is marked by a range of activities including marches, talks, campaigns and events aimed at raising awareness of women`s issues and pushing for gender equality​​.
