Let Women Be

Such a beautiful day

Today was a great day because it was International Women’s Day!!! Isn’t it crazy that women have a special day just to celebrate how unique and powerful we are? Oh yeah, we need this day to acknowledge how awesome we are!! Ook.. Let’s not make it an extremist feminist post… However, we don’t have to forget that there is a reason for having a women’s day that is not only to celebrate how great women are. As many of you might know, just a few decades ago women weren’t even considered eligible to vote! Nowadays we think that giving the right to vote to both women and men it’s an ordinary and not surprising thing… But gender inequality is still dominant in many departments of our and foreign societies, and this is way we need this special day.

Lately on Facebook there was an official SBCC Event that promoted International Women’s day and that asked to wear read to symbolize unity among the female community. When I woke up this morning, to support this amazing day I wore a red T-shirt, a red hat and red shoes and I was ready to shine! I was waring so much red that I felt like a juicy tomato walking on the SBCC campus. But, oh well, red is my favorite color, so why not wear it for such an important purpose??

A red spot on the lawn

As I was walking on the SBCC West Campus I saw a bunch of people standing or seated down on the West Campus Lawn. In front of them a microphone hold by a woman dressed in red. Powerful speeches concerning gender equality, unity, love, and peace were delivered by different speakers that would get up and grab the mic. It was so emotional to see how much people care about making society better for every individual regardless of their gender, characteristics and preferences. I am so glad that in America women’s day is such a great day.
