Join us in celebrating the significant contributions of women to our industry for Women’s History Month in March. This monthlong celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture, and society has been observed annually in the United States since 1987, but began as a local grassroots celebration in California in 1978 as Women's History Week. In 1980, several woman’s groups and historians led by the National Woman’s History Project (now known as the National Women’s History Alliance) successfully lobbied for national recognition, and the same year the first federal proclamation was issued declaring the week of March 8, 1980 as Woman’s History Week. In 1987, another proclamation was passed declaring March Women's History Month. This year's theme is "Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion," recognizing women who understand the need to eliminate bias and discrimination from individuals' lives and institutions.

[MARCH IS WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH] The National Women’s History Month’s theme for 2024 celebrates “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.” Women from every background have long realized that an uneven playing field will never bring equality or justice. During 2024, we recognize the example of women who are committed to embracing everyone and excluding no one in our common quest for freedom and opportunity. They know that people change with the help of families, teachers, and friends and that young people in particular need to learn the value of hearing from different voices with different points of view as they grow up. It takes courage for women to advocate for practical goals like equity, diversity, and inclusion. Throughout 2024, we honor local women from the past and present who have taken the lead to show the importance of change and to establish firmer safeguards, practices, and legislation reflecting these values. This month I honor all the women from diverse backgrounds in in my world who are making a significant difference in our community. Who are the women in your world that you will honor?

Happy Women's Day ! 💐 Today marks a profoundly significant occasion! Over 115 years ago, 15,000 courageous women took a stand against injustice in the US. The era of First Wave Feminism, spanning from the mid-19th century to the 1920s, ignited the initial battles for equality, including voting rights, fair pay, and other fundamental rights in the Western world. Although much progress has been made over the past century, certain injustices persist, some lingering unseen in the shadows of the past and present. As James Brown's iconic lyrics remind us, "It's a Man's Man's Man's World," reflecting enduring disparities in politics, the workforce, and even within certain religious spheres. But consider this: a mere 15,000 individuals catalyzed the first monumental leap toward change. Their unity demonstrated the transformative power inherent in collective action. Let us not overlook the pivotal lesson that true agents of change do not passively observe injustice from the comfort of their homes. Gratitude is owed to those who paved the way, illuminating the path forward in the quest to dismantle systemic inequalities and injustices. Especially these days.

March is Women’s History Month! Women historically have been sidelined, marginalised, discriminated against and overlooked both in their daily lives, in the historical record and for their contributions across society. As roughly 50% of the population at any given time, women must have and did play significant roles in how our communities and societies have been structured and developed. Ensuring that they get 50% of the historical storytelling is at the core of the month to then increase representation throughout the rest of the year. When women campaign and succeed, history tells us that they raise the level of inclusion and equality for everyone. Therefore, this women’s history month we are not going to tell you about famous women from history but about how women s activists have changed the societies around them to shape all our lives and benefit all our futures. Find our curated list of resources aiming to engage primary students and inspire secondary students as well a list of general resources focusing on women activists below: https://buff.ly/3UUFzI3 #WomensHistoryMonth #WomensSuffrage #HAWomen
