International Women's Day is celebrated every year on March 8th all around the world. This is to promote that all women should be able to have the rights and equality the same as men. So far it has helped many women to become more equal but they day is still important as there is still so much inequality.
Tasia 7X said “I think that International Women’s Day is a good idea because it shows that a woman can do any job she wants. She can be a female and still be able to fix a car.” Stereotypes in the media and society often tell us what jobs are ‘for’ men or women which puts ideas into young people that they are restricted because of what society thinks.
Alperton Community School librarian Miss Parkin thinks “it is definitely important because it reminds people how much women have done so far and how important it is to be equal.”
Our school library has a wide range of books and a newsletter dedicated to promote International Women's Day. Some of the books are:
Watch Us Rise by Rennie Watson
The Unbound by Aisha Saeed
Incredible Sporting Champions by Georgia Amson Bradshaw
