You can also bring awareness to women’s rights by dressing accordingly as the colors you choose to wear on International Women’s Day, will carry a meaning. Choose your color and what the color stands for:
- RED – symbolizes POWER. It shows strength and power, and forces people to pay attention
- PURPLE – symbolizes DIGNITY. This is the color of dignity, self-respect, and signifies bipartisanship. And according to the National Woman’s Party, “Purple is the color of loyalty, constancy to purpose, unswerving steadfastness to a cause.”
- WHITE – symbolizes PURITY. Back in the suffragette movement, women were strongly encouraged to wear this color as a symbolism of purity and virtue and to show they were “good people” too. And if they were “good people” too, why shouldn’t they have the right to vote !!
- GREEN – symbolizes HOPE. Another signature color of the suffragette movement.
- PINK – symbolizes FEMININITY. According to societal norms, pink is unapologetically feminine, and it represents compassion and love.
- BLACK – symbolizes SOLIDARITY. This is a powerful, respectful color, which is why it has become the color of the Time’s Up movement.
So come on ladies. Which color will you be wearing today?
