International Women’s Day 2021

March 8, 2021 by Patricia Sands 2 Comments

#ChooseToChallenge

March 8, is globally recognized as International Women’s Day. This year’s theme #ChooseToChallenge. Click here for the official United Nations website with more history and information.

This day means different things to different people. For some it’s a celebration, for others it’s a call to action to accelerate gender parity, and for many it’s an opportunity to align and promote relevant activity. Whatever your objective, International Women’s Day is the perfect moment for gender-focused action.

Leaders across the world are pledging to take action as champions of gender parity. 

Today I would like to share part of a previous post of mine and honour a dear departed friend whose legacy will endure. One piece of it is this outstanding collection of photographs of women around the world, compiled by Toronto’s own JourneyWoman, Evelyn Hannon. This is a stunning celebration of women uniquely contributing to their communities.

Click right here and be sure to continue through all five pages of photos. You will be very glad you did. That’s a promise!

Evelyn-Hannon

 Evelyn shared her thoughts on the project at the time:  “As I add the finishing touches to our ‘2016 Journeywoman International Woman’s Day Photography Exhibit,’ I dedicate this year’s compilation to all daughters and granddaughters wherever they live in this great big world. My hope is that with time this young generation of females will bring us closer to a place of equal opportunity for women and for men. As Mothers, Aunts, and Grandmothers we believe in them and will do everything we can to support them.”

Evelyn’s decades of groundbreaking work are being carried on today by others and you can continue to follow Journeywoman on Facebook.

In this photo collection, each is a study in itself, but was there one in particular that stood out for you?

This eye-catching study was taken by my friend, Carol Perehudoff, a.k.a luxury blogger, Wandering Carol. I keep waiting for the image to start moving. Unforgettable!

Celebrate women today and every day. All ages. All nationalities. We are in this together.

      You are very welcome, Jan. Actually, I noticed that there was a problem with some text interfering with the images and contacted JourneyWoman. They sent me a link which resolved the problem and I have updated the link in my post. I’m glad you enjoyed the photos in spite of that.

      Happy IWD to you!
