👩 Woman Emoji Power: Celebrate 💃 Women’s History Month The Digital Way
The month of March marks the annually celebrated Women’s History Month—a celebration of the great contribution of women throughout history.
If it seems absurd to try and cram all the achievements of women throughout history into 31 days—that’s because it is. It goes without saying women’s achievements should be celebrated every month, but until that day comes, let’s just make the most out of what we have.

There are many ways to really get into these festivities, whether you choose to do things in person, or from the comfort of your own home like joining a women’s march or blogging about your struggles as a woman, or posting about women’s issues on your social media accounts, and adding a woman emoji at the end.
You can also donate your time, talent, and treasure to organizations that support girls like The Malala Fund, or Women For Women International, but let’s go more into that later.

Speaking of emojis, it cannot be denied that emojis have become a game-changer in the world of modern messaging. You can show anyone how you’re feeling with one simple, giddy emoticon, or two! Emojis are great for conveying emotions, but did you also know they can be used to empower others?
In fact, we’ve got a couple of emojis to drive home that point. But first, let’s go through all the woman emojis available to you. This will help you make an informed decision before you hit send on that Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tiktok post about, say, the power of the women’s vote, or something like that. You might even decide to add them to your personal content!

Now that you are familiar with the various genres and categories of woman emoji, let’s go into how you can use them to celebrate Women’s Month.
International Women’s Day Activities
One of the best ways to get started on this endeavor is to support International Women’s Day, a global day celebrating the political, social, economic and cultural achievements of women. The event also serves as an overall call to action, action to accelerate the equality and inclusion of women all over the world.

Listening to women sharing their insights, expertise, and advice is one of the best ways to get inspired to make change. So, why not go and do just that?
This year, with most of the world still gathering online instead of in-person, we assure you, you won’t run out of great virtual events to be a part of. For International Women’s Day, just go to this link to pick whatever catches your fancy.
Once you’ve thought of what event to attend, encourage your friends, family, or team to register with you! And when you’re done with the activity, if you would feel so inclined to do so, why not share your experience on your social media accounts? You can blog, tweet, livestream, or post about it.
Remember to include a woman emoji on your post, together with a strong, positive symbol like a 👍 or 🙌 to inspire and encourage your followers.
Host A Film Screening Of Movies Directed By Women

Representation in films has a significant effect on how audiences learn about gender inequality, gender norms, and the way we perceive the world. Although we are reaching record levels of female representation in film, there is still a lot of work to be done to close Hollywood’s gender gap.
In 2019, 20% of all Hollywood directors, writers, and producers were women. Unfortunately, the Golden Globes or Oscars did not nominate female directors in the Best Director Category. This year, to celebrate Women’s History Month, grab your friends or family to view the world from a woman’s point of view.
All together watch a few films by women directors. When you’re done, how about writing a movie review with a few cleverly inserted woman emoji in the beginning, middle, and end? Your followers will surely admire your creativity!
Support Female Entrepreneurs

Supporting businesses owned, operated and controlled by women or women contributes to equal economic empowerment. It also helps a more prosperous economy as a whole. Therefore, why not “Vote with your dollar” this International Women’s Day by deliberately seeking out and supporting local women-owned businesses. Share your ideas with family and friends and encourage them to do so!
Begin A Book Club

Understanding some of the challenges women face around the world is an important step towards promoting gender equality. To celebrate International Women’s Day this year, consider forming a book club with people in your community. Review and focus on books that educate women to lead better lives. You can do this in person or online.
Review Books By Female Authors
When your group is done reviewing a book, there are many ways to make your female voice heard. Why not make a blog post about it, (with several woman emojis, of course). Or a social media post? Including emojis in your review will enhance your post, make it look cute and stylish, and it will increase your social media account’s engagement.
