This year, International Women’s Day falls on the weekend, on Saturday 8th March 2025, making it the perfect time to celebrate all things female. Why not get together with your friends and have lots of feminist fun together?
The theme this year is #AccelerateAction, which focuses on speeding up progress towards gender equality, so it’s essential to keep the campaign at the forefront of attention throughout the year, not just on International Women’s Day.
There are plenty of things you can do all year round to celebrate the achievements of women and girls – both in the public arena and closer to home. Keep an eye on the social, economic, cultural and political sectors and champion those women who are in important roles.
Also, if you have little ones, before you read them a bedtime story, check out this blog post ‘Realistically Ever After‘, which shares some of the best feminist retellings of classic fairy stories – definitely something to think about!
Plus, you can wear your support by choosing apparel and accessories with feminist slogans and gender-equalising graphics – that’s not just something you can do on International Women’s Day, but on any day of the year.
You may remember my Holly Dolly Christmas jumper I shared in December, featuring a fabulous Dolly Parton design. Well, now I’ve gone full-Dolly for International Women’s Day with my latest wardrobe addition: the Saint Dolly tee from The Spark Company.
There’s a whole collection of ‘Saints’ including Cher, Frida and Harry, so you’ll be sure to find a favourite in this range.
The company has a zero-waste policy, use vegan dyes and all the products are ethically made with humane and fair work practices so I’m happy to shop with them whenever I can. Plus, I have a discount code, which is IWD25 for 10% off.
The tees, sweatshirts and vests are all gender and size-inclusive unisex pieces, and I always go for a small for a slightly snug fit but you could choose slouchy oversized for comfy weekend wear.
My latest t-shirt features the ‘Phenomenally’ slogan, which references Maya Angelou’s Phenomenal Woman poem, a truly uplifting read, so be sure to check that out.
I was already a fan of the company before I found out that it was based fairly locally to me and now that I’ve discovered the brand also supports charities such as The Bloody Good Period, fighting for menstrual equity, I’ve become even more of a Spark Company champion.
By the way, if you want to flaunt your feminism at work, may I suggest one of the mugs available on the website? They always make me smile with such pretty designs in contrast to the strong slogans!
I hope you have an enjoyable International Women’s Day, whatever you get up to on the 8th of March. Let me know your plans in the comments below, I’d love to hear your tips for bringing gender equality to the forefront in your work life or personal life.
Finally, don’t forget to use The Spark Company’s discount code IWD25 to get 10% off if you want to wear your feminist principles all year round!
