Brands and Retailers Celebrating Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day With Conversations, Donations and More

Since 1987, March has been recognized as Women’s History Month, which celebrates the contributions women have made to American culture and society. The message is amplified worldwide on March 8 for International Women’s Day, when topics like gender parity, pay equity, bodily autonomy and empowerment gain visibility globally. Last year, women’s rights — the advances and the setbacks — were at the forefront of conversation, ranging from the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, resulting in the loss of federally protected abortion rights, to female-led protests that swept Iran after the death of Mahsa Amini, who died while detained by morality police after being accused of improperly wearing a head scarf. Throughout March, companies are showing support in a variety of ways, including sharing messages of empowerment, roundtables, donations, exclusive collections and other forms of activism. Here, a roundup of some companies that are celebrating women in March. Come back for updates.
