What is International Women’s Day and why do we celebrate it?

International Women’s Day locally and internationally is dedicated to celebrate women’s achievements in economic, social and cultural aspects. The day has been founded by Women to bring women’s rights and gender parity.

Now after years of celebrating and a historical story taking us back more than one hundred years ago, we celebrate international Women’s Day as a reflection of the current Women’s status and how far they’ve come against the battle of gender discrimination. Year after year, Women’s day gets more popular and celebrated by many, as its advocacy is still needed to break down certain barriers.

How is Women’s Day Celebrated in Malta

Traditionally in Malta, men honor girlfriends, wives, mothers and female colleagues with beautiful yellow flowers and small presents such as perfumes, candles, chocolates or any sentimental gifts. During Women’s Day the Mimosa flower is fully bloomed and many associate the mimosa flower as the traditional Women’s Day flower.

This makes any yellow hued bouquet a perfect Women’s Day gift, but other colors such as purples and pinks are also accepted and loved by many. This is why we’ve opted to add a variety for both colors to ensure that you have a variety of gifts that fit everyone’s liking.
