Dedicating this post to all the amazing women in the world. March 8th rolls around every year and we all get an annual reminder that women exist, but because—shockingly—women’s rights are relevant every day. And yet, somehow, we still need to explain this. First things first: March 8th isn’t just about “celebrating women.” It’s not about flowers, pink cupcakes, or some pseudo-Valentine’s Day where we throw chocolates at women and call it empowerment. It’s about women’s rights—the rights that, believe it or not, are still an issue across the world.
