International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global celebration honouring the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. Observed annually on March 8th, this day serves as a rallying point for advocating gender equality and women’s rights worldwide.
Historical Background
The origins of International Women’s Day can be traced back to the early 20th century when women began organizing and demanding better working conditions, suffrage, and equal rights. The first National Woman’s Day was observed in the United States on February 28, 1909, in honour of the 1908 garment workers’ strike in New York. In 1910, the idea of an international day dedicated to women gained momentum at the International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen, where Clara Zetkin proposed the idea to promote equal rights and suffrage for women.
At East Geelong Dental Practice, we celebrate International Women’s Day by honoring the remarkable achievements of women worldwide and empowering them to inspire positive change in their lives and communities. This year’s theme, “Empowering Women, Inspiring Change,” resonates deeply with our commitment to promoting not only oral health but overall well-being among women.
Did you know that a woman’s oral health can evolve throughout her life? From puberty to pregnancy, menopause, and beyond, hormonal changes can significantly impact oral health. As such, it’s essential for women to prioritize regular dental check-ups to address any changes and maintain optimal oral hygiene.
Join us in raising awareness about the importance of women’s oral health and how preventive dental care can make a difference at every stage of life. Together, let’s empower women to take charge of their oral health and inspire positive change for a healthier, happier future.
