Women's Day is celebrated annually in countries all over the world to encourage equal opportunities for women.
"In Uganda, Women’s Day is a national holiday set aside to recognize women’s contributions to their families and communities, as well as to magnify the need for improved treatment and rights for women."

To celebrate I wore pink, drank good coffee from Rwanda, painted my nails, ate chocolate, and got my first haircut in 7 months.
I realize this isn't the point of the holiday at all, but it's still fun to celebrate! And more importantly to remember what it means to be a woman created in the image of God.
