International Women’s Day : The Round Up
Yesterday marked the 118th anniversary of International Women's Day, a day dedicated to the celebration of women everywhere, how far we’ve come and sadly, how far we have to go.
There seemed to be a notable increase in support this year, with many galvanised by the success of the recent Time’s Up movement which swept across the globe at the beginning of the year. News outlets, social media and celebrities alike joined in, championing and celebrating the successes of empowered women everywhere, supporting the mood of the moment that suggests real change is in the air.At Mio HQ we found the widespread coverage and celebration of International Women's Day to be nothing short of inspiring, confirming just how powerful, inspirational and amazing women really are, so to help spread the good vibrations, we’ve collated some of our favourite images from the day which left us feeling empowered and excited by the impactful, incredible work that’s happening!https://www.instagram.com/p/BgElFbvFDph/?taken-by=dazed
