How To Celebrate Women's Day – Celebration Ideas

1. Help out a close female friend or family member. This can be anything from taking care of your sister's children for the evening free of charge so she has a chance to relax, to doing all the housework without being asked by your mother.

Consider making a pledge to an important woman in your life that you will continue to help her out throughout the year, be it your mother by doing your chores without her having to ask repeatedly, or taking on half of the cooking and housework from your wife or girlfriend.

2. Tell a woman what she means to you. This could be your boss, a family member, your significant other. You should tell her why she is important and all the thing she does well. For instance, if it's your boss, tell her why she's a great boss and how much you've enjoyed working for her.

A lot of the things that women do, especially women who are in charge, are scrutinized for every single thing they've done wrong, or ignored entirely, whereas a man would not be subjected to that type of treatment.

3. Thank the women in your life. Don't just tell them why they are important, thank them for being there for you and for doing what they do by sending flowers for her. This could be as simple as thanking your mother for helping to raise you (hopefully because you turned out well), or thanking a female friend for helping out during tough times in your life. You can send flowers and cakes and chocolates online to say a big thank you and appreciate them. 

4. Treat women with respect. This seems like it should be a super easy one, but to judge by the number of female victims of sexual assault, and simply the day to day struggle of being out of your house while female, this is very obviously not the case.

Don't ever tell a woman to "make you sandwich" even as a joke. It's not funny and simply serves to reinforce the idea that women are only there to cook and take care of men.

Don't harass women on public transportation (or in public) about their looks, or whether they are smiling or not.

Do speak up for women if you see that a woman's being harassed. If your buddies make rape jokes or sandwich jokes, calmly explain to them why those are not respectful (or, even better, ask them to explain why those jokes are funny, and watch as they fall all over themselves to not be misogynistic).

Remember, act with respect towards women (any everyone, be a decent human being) every single day, not just on March 8.

5. Raise awareness. You can send flower bouquets, cakes or chocolates to all girls online from www.onlineflowersgift.com and mention that it's International Women's Day to people you know, your family, your coworkers, your friends. Discuss with them why it's an important day and why it's important to treat women with respect and to acknowledge their contributions to society.
