International Women’s Day is here, and what better way to to mark the occasion than by supporting women-owned brands?

With its origins as a socialist movement in the early 1900s, IWD is a celebration of the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women. This year’s theme, “Break the Bias,” calls on us all to “imagine a gender equal world.” In Canada and internationally, this dream can feel out of reach. From the abortion ban in Texas to the crisis in Ukraine that threatens the rights of LGBTQ+ people, playing an active role to create “a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination,” per IWD, is more important than ever.
