International Women’s Day 2025

Celebrating International Women’s Day with Flowstate

International Women’s Day (March 8) is all about celebrating women’s achievements, raising awareness about inequality, and pushing for real change. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come—but also how much work there’s still to do.

This year, Flowstate is getting involved by running workshops with local charities to support and uplift women in our community. We’re creating spaces where women can connect, learn new skills, and just take some time for themselves. Because real empowerment isn’t just about big speeches and social media posts—it’s about showing up, supporting each other, and making a difference where we can.

Women’s rights are still under threat in so many ways, and the idea that we’ve “already got equality” just isn’t true. Pay gaps, safety concerns, and barriers to opportunities are still very real. That’s why days like this matter—to highlight the struggles, celebrate the wins, and keep pushing for better.

If you want to get involved, keep an eye on our socials for details about our upcoming workshops. Let’s make this IWD about real action, connection, and community. International Women’s Day (March 8) is more than just a celebration—it’s a call to action. It’s a day to honor the achievements of women throughout history while recognizing the challenges we still face.

Despite progress, gender inequality persists across the world. Women continue to experience wage gaps, discrimination, violence, and barriers to healthcare, education, and leadership. In some places, our rights are being stripped away rather than expanded.

This day serves as a reminder that equality isn’t a privilege—it’s a right. It’s about amplifying women’s voices, challenging systemic biases, and pushing for a future where every woman and girl can thrive without limits.

International Women’s Day is not just about acknowledging how far we’ve come, but about committing to the work that still needs to be done. Because when women rise, we all rise. It’s a difficult time for women right now. Despite the ongoing fight for equality, half of men believe women now have too many rights and that gender disparity no longer exists—simply because we have more rights than we did in the past, back when we had almost none.

But the reality is that women’s rights are being stripped away in many parts of the world, and in some cases, we’re even moving backward. From reproductive rights being rolled back to gender-based violence being downplayed or ignored, systemic biases against women are still deeply ingrained. Meanwhile, gender bias in favor of men is increasing in various spaces, from the workplace to legal systems, making it harder for women to access fair treatment, opportunities, and safety.

The idea that equality has already been achieved is not just misleading—it’s dangerous. It allows oppression to continue under the guise of "fairness" while silencing women who speak out against ongoing injustice. True equality means recognizing the struggles that still exist, not dismissing them as relics of the past.
