International Women’s Day, this is what women are saying

Today is International Women’s Day and the hashtag #InternationalWomensDay is trending for good reasons.

Women are being celebrated everywhere and they are saying one thing in coomon “We can do anything, especially if we’re told we can’t!”

Men have not been left out of the celebration at all.

Sadhguru @SadhguruJV has twittered saying “When you’re walking on the street, why should you be bothered whether someone is a woman or a man? It’s not your business. Only in bathrooms and bedrooms, it should matter – nowhere else.”

Today women around the world are being challenged to be to the brave, talented, resilient & compassionate women everywhere and do their best to create a happier world.

Everything FCM @FcMglobal said in a tweet “Setting today aside to celebrate women and their achievements all around the globe, Your efforts are not taken for granted and your Achievements have contributed to bringing humanity this far. We love You” #InternationalWomensDay”

“One of the requirements of today is that we should ensure the advance of our women in all respects. Therefore, our women, like our men, will be enlightened and well-educated.” –Atatürk, 1923.

From all indications, women are getting heard and appreciated for their amazing contribution to the world yet many more are marginalized, abused, and still wallow in poverty.

It is time to realize that the need to empower women is a right and not a privilege. A helpmate must be made and helped to reach the full potential of the man she helps to fit in properly.

Women must also challenge themselves and rise to the top, feeling inferior will only derail you. Stand up bold, stand up proud, challenge your self to the top devoid of arrogance.

remember, both men and women need discipline and dedication in equal measure to rise to the top. On this day, we wish all women a happy #InternationalWomensDay”

International Women’s Day to every woman who dares to be a real woman.
