I have red hair.
You can’t easily miss it.
What, you may not know?
Is the history of women and the colour red.
It’s just a colour, right?
No.
From the Suffragettes, who wore red lipstick to signal rebellion,
whilst fighting for women to vote.
In World War II, Women wore red lipstick in defiance of Hi**er.
It was a stand against Na**sm.
And in recent years?
In Chile, women wore it to protest against the sexual assault of women.
Red has long been a symbol of empowerment,
resistance to the patriarchy,
liberation and boldness.
Stand up,
stand out,
but whatever you do?
Stand for something.
Red.
It is not just a colour.
It’s a statement.
Wear it.
Embrace it.
Today, more than ever,
the world needs YOUR voice.
Happy International Women’s Day - stand with us, for us or against us, but we are not going anywhere.
Today, my boys wear red ❤️❤️
