Break the taboo 🤦‍♀️| The Constellation

March 8th was International Women’s Day,

hence the occasion to celebrate social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, along with gender equality and female empowerment. This year’s theme #EachforEqual enforces gender equality as an engine for thriving communities.

Beyond taking part in the official day events, whether it is joining a march or posting an inspiring picture on Instagram, how can we keep striving for gender equality in our daily lives?

You might want to support your male friend who wants to go on paternity leave. Or you may want to fight the beauty and diet culture for your daughters.

We believe that supporting women in their business ventures can make a difference and speed up the process of economic gender equality which is predicted to take 257 years to achieve at the 2019 rate of progress!

It is thanks to women like Katie, Shyleen, Tami and Melissa that we can hope for a more equal future. As Katie puts it, “break the system and do what you love doing”, and might I add, do so regardless of your gender.

During this month of March which has become so special for women, let's take some time to inquire about what it is like to fully be a woman in different parts of the world, to acknowledge our own privilege, and maybe to look for ways to break the taboo surrounding menstruation.
