Which event in March made an impact on you?

No ways! This year 2016 month of March wouldn’t end without me mentioning the women’s history month. The Women history month officially started on the 1^st of March and ends today, 31^st of March. March, 2016 is unarguably the month for the women folk as other events were also celebrated this March around the world.

Which of the events made an impact on you the most? Here is a list of #5 Women events that marked the month.

1.      Mother’s day (March 6^th)

Mother’s day celebrates motherhood and mother figures in our lives. It holds on different dates in different countries. In the UK & Ireland, Mothering Sunday is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent (precisely on the 3^rd Sunday before Easter Sunday) and Naija too is not left out (that is story for another day).  Some other countries such as the United States and Canada celebrate on the second Sunday in May (This year’s Mother’s day will fall on Sunday May 8^th). So come 8th of May, we will celebrate again (trust Naija), but really mothers should be celebrated every day, don’t you think?

2.      International women’s day (March 8^th ) #IWD

The year 2016’s campaign theme is the pledge for parity and was marked with leaders across the world pledging to take actions as champions of gender parity.

3.      WIMBIZ (Women in Management, Business and Public service).

WIMBIZ is a Nigerian non-profit organization for networking women in leadership areas in the workplace and in business. It held its annual conference with the theme “Crisis of values: Reclaiming our society.”

4.      United Nations Commission on the status of women (UNCSW)

It’s an arm of the United Nations dedicated to gender equality and women empowerment. It also held its conference at the New York Headquarters

5.      Can I regard to this as an event? The Gender equality bill that was passed and rejected by the National Assembly causing so much uproar in the country at a time when other countries are pledging to be leaders in gender parity.

Did I miss out any? As a mother, wife, sister, daughter, aunt,  father, brother, husband, uncle, or son, which one made an impact on you the most and why?
