How will you celebrate International Women’s Day 2025?

When it comes to celebrating the hardworking women in our lives, you’d be hard-pressed to find a day that does more justice than International Women’s Day.

While our mums, sisters, coworkers and partners should be celebrated every day, why not show the special ladies in your life a little more love by hosting an International Women’s Day event that they won’t soon forget! 

But first of all, what and when is International Women’s Day?

International Women’s Day is held annually on the 8th of March and is a global celebration of women’s achievements. It first began in the early 1900s as part of a movement for women’s rights, and has since grown into a day of recognition for progress, empowerment, and gender equality worldwide.

Taking the lead from big brands like Business Chicks, Lululemon, and Spotify who ran campaigns or events earlier this year to honour all the women in the corporate world, here’s some special ways to show your appreciation in 2025 and beyond.

A soiree to celebrate the day

While it may seem like a pretty simple idea, sometimes the simplest things can produce the most wonderful outcomes. Why not celebrate the special women in your life by hosting an International Women’s Day party in their honour? Some things to keep in mind are the iconic purple colour the occasion is known for, which you can also incorporate into the invitations and décor. You may also be interested in catering for a sweet feast such as fruit platters, pastries and purple cupcakes, which always tend to be a hit on the day. No matter the type of soiree you end up hosting, be sure that none of the important women in your organisation feel anything less than celebrated.

Pamper packs for the whole crew to enjoy

While an event like International Women’s Day is always a great opportunity to have a party, you’ll also help the special women in your life feel all the more appreciated by getting them a decadent gift pack. High end brands across Australia make it a point to curate the perfect goodie bags specifically for corporate events celebrating International Women’s Day. Beauty brands often create pamper packs which can be bought in bulk, while most retailers offer special gift vouchers which can be handed out to staff with ease. If planning an event isn’t a viable option for your business, opt for a generous gift that’ll leave the ladies feeling spoiled.

Partner with a women-led charity and start a campaign

Another great way to celebrate International Women’s Day is through partnering with a charity aimed at improving the lives of women. Many social welfare charities have been created to help women overcome the less than ideal circumstances they may find themselves in. Some of these include organisations aimed at helping at-risk mothers facing domestic abuse or charities that provide care and support to women in developing countries who may be facing gender based discrimination. By partnering with a charity that shares your values, you’ll not only be celebrating women but improving the lives of others which could potentially impact the generations of women to come! 

Celebrate all things International Women’s Day with a seminar

Australia has never failed to champion the cause of International Women’s Day. With that you’ll also notice hundreds of businesses across the country organising seminars designed to get women activated and empowered in the workplace. Why not host a seminar of your own and invite women from all walks of life to attend and contribute? Women have so much to offer in the way of sharing their unique experiences and expertise. Hosting a seminar is a sure-fire way of providing more women with an opportunity to share their stories and impact the lives of those around them. Give the gift of a platform this International Women’s Day, and watch your seminar attendees come alive with new vigour and inspiration.
