5 Beautiful Ways to Celebrate International Women’s Day with doTERRA
Donna SmithEach year on 8th March, the world comes together to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD) – a day to honour the achievements of women, raise awareness about gender equality, and take action for positive change. At Essential Oils QLD, we believe in celebrating women every day – but on this global occasion, we’re inspired to uplift, nurture, and reconnect with the strength and beauty of women everywhere.
A Brief History of International Women’s Day
International Women’s Day has roots stretching back to the early 1900s. The first official IWD was observed in 1911, inspired by growing movements for women’s rights and suffrage in Europe and the United States. By 1977, the United Nations officially recognised 8th March as International Women’s Day, and it has since become a global day of reflection, celebration, and action.
Today, IWD is marked by events, marches, forums, and community celebrations across more than 100 countries, with themes such as “Choose to Challenge”, “Embrace Equity”, or “Inspire Inclusion” guiding each year’s focus.
