International Women's Day 2025 brings a powerful moment to honor the bravery, strength, and intelligence of women all over the world. As March 8th gets closer, let's move beyond social media posts. Here are nine inspiring ways to honor women's contributions while also actively supporting equal rights for women in our communities and workplaces.
1. Host an Afternoon Tea Gathering
Turn a simple tea time into a great chance for powerful networking. Set up a cozy area with a variety of teas, light snacks, and comfy Wren Swivel Accent Chairs so that women can share their stories, experiences, and wise words. This laid-back atmosphere makes it easy for people to connect and have deep talks that could lead to mentorship opportunities or professional collaborations.
2. Organize Health Wellness Workshops
Set up health screenings or wellness seminars for women. Work with local doctors and hospitals to offer basic health checks, or invite mental health workers to lead talks about how to deal with stress and find a good balance between work and life. These sessions are helpful as they give women useful knowledge and a safe place to discuss health concerns openly.
3. Plan a Female-Led Film Screening
Host a movie night with movies directed by women or telling powerful women's stories. The cozy Ohana 5-Seat Motion Modular Sofa can help build a welcoming space and is ideal for shared viewing experiences. Add soft blankets and cushions, dim the lights, and lay out snacks that everyone can share. Create a welcoming space for open talks after each movie where everyone feels welcome to share their thoughts and experiences.

4. Express Heartfelt Gratitude
Small acts of gratitude can spread happiness like a wave. Sending a sincere message or doing something kind for the amazing women in our lives shows them that their influence is valued. Many women have been strong and wise in our lives, from teachers and mothers who guided us to friends who lifted us up. Ways to Say "Thank You" include:
- A handwritten note with "Thank You" is one real way.
- Set up a quick video call or virtual coffee date.
- Send a sound message to tell them how their support changed your day or your life.
- Send a picture from the past along with a note explaining why this moment or their presence matters to you.
5. Wear Purple with Purpose
Purple is a strong symbol of respect, fairness, and women's strength all over the world. On March 8th, make your workplace or community a sea of purple to show support for women's rights and successes. Your purple style could be a cozy purple sweater, tee, or scarf, or to be simpler, subtle touches like purple nail polish, jewelry, or hair accessories can add a meaningful pop of color.
6. Start a Book Club Discussion
Reading together can help you see things from new perspectives and have powerful talks. Having a cozy book club discussion focused on women's voices brings stories of strength, growth, and triumph to life. Sink into the cozy TraceePower Swivel Glider Recliner - the perfect spot to lose yourself in a good book or host intimate discussions. Shared reading time leads to deep conversations, whether people meet in person with tea and treats or join online. Think about which character's journey spoke to you the most. Or, what does this story have to do with now?

7. Share Empowering Social Media Content
Social media has real power to spark change and uplift voices. Let's not just repost quotes; let's share stories of local women who are making a difference, bring attention to historical figures lesser-known, or write about women-led initiatives in your community. Use relevant hashtags, and encourage people to have real discussion in the comments.
8. Create an Inspirational Playlist
Put together a list of songs by female artists that praise being strong, resilient, and independent. Share the playlist with your friends and family, and use it as background music for all of your International Women's Day events, from sipping morning coffee at the Nova Counter Stools leisurely to parties in the evening. Playlist reference:🎤
- Girl on Fire - Alicia Keys
- Stronger - Kelly Clarkson
- Respect - Aretha Franklin
- Royals- Lorde
- Lift Me Up - Rihanna
- Run the World (Girls) - Beyoncé
- The Man - Taylor Swift
9. Get Involved in Community Service
Lending a helping hand makes a positive change in our community. We can turn our kindness into action and our support into strength by getting in touch with local women's organizations. Every little bit of work makes the world a better place for girls and women. 💏
For example, you can try the following things:
- Support local shelters by helping prepare warm meals or organizing donation drives for essentials.
- Mentor young girls, such as sharing career experiences, coaching sports activities, helping with homework, etc.
- Share your skills, like teaching digital literacy classes or hosting financial planning sessions.
Each of these activities can be customized to fit the place where you're celebrating, like at work, school, or in your neighborhood. The important thing is to help people connect, learn, and make good changes while celebrating women's achievements and potential.
