Walk for Women: Ways to Get Involved
The Walk for Women is a worldwide event during the month of March to celebrate Women's History Month and International Women's Day (March 8). Everyone can participate—just get moving and share your #WhyIWalk! Check out the different ways to help us spread awareness about women's stories, struggles, and strength!

Encourage Others to Join Soroptimist
Encouraging a friend to join a club—like your local Soroptimist club—not only gives them opportunities to give back to the community, but it also lets them build lifelong friendships with women like you! Nothing is more amazing than women lifting up fellow women to help all of us thrive together!
“For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.”
The UN’s International Women’s Day theme is “For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.”
This theme calls for action that unlocks equal rights, power, and opportunities for all and a feminist future where no one is left behind. Central to this vision is empowering the next generation. Learn more
Be Aware of Issues Women Still Face Today
Although women have made progress, there are still areas where women face obstacles because of their gender. For example, women have unequal access to education, face workplace stigmas and double standards, and are under-represented in leadership. Plus, there’s domestic violence, sexual harassment, and trafficking. The list goes on and on, unfortunately—but together, we can create positive change!
Host an Event to Celebrate Women
An event is a fun way to acknowledge Women’s History Month and to build solidarity with other women. Invite your friends and allies. Make it positive and empowering!
Some fun ideas to make the event special:
Watch movies or TV shows directed by women and with female leads
Listen to your favorite music by female artists (you could even organize a dinner and dance party!)
Decorate your space with empowering quotes by women, or art by women like Frida Kahlo and Georgia O’Keefe
Take a group hike with fellow women and strike up a conversation about what sisterhood means – then post your #WhyIWalk for the Walk for Women event!
Have a mini ceremony and give out awards to each of your gal pals to celebrate their resilience, compassion, and accomplishments
Organize a book club and read influential books by women
Support Women-Owned Businesses
Support women entrepreneurs and creators. Women-owned businesses are on the rise, but women still represent a minority of business owners. March is a perfect time to show your solidarity with these tenacious entrepreneurs and service providers.
Spread Awareness on Social Media
An easy way to celebrate is to share articles, infographics, inspiring quotes, videos, and other women-centric content on your social media. Feel free to share any of the posts on our Facebook or Instagram. Check out these Canva Templates for social media graphics you can customize and share!
