Yesterday was International Women’s Day and it was promoted very widely in the circles I am part of. A lot of my friends participated in the International Women’s Day fun run, and I saw a lot of inspiring posts and message of support on Facebook.
It felt somehow ‘off’ to me however, as I don’t believe there should be a special day celebrating just one gender.
I believe all people are completely equal – men, women, and children. Regardless of gender, regardless of race or sexual preference. Every single human being matters (and every single living breathing creature for that matter).
All genders/races/nationalities should be as equally important every day of the year.
I would love to see World Kindness Day highlighted instead.
And for the focus to be on spreading loving and kindness to everyone in the world – not only as a whole, but in each little part of our individual worlds. Every person we come across ♥
Makes sense to me.
