More Than Words ™International Women’s Day, which falls on 8th March 2020, is a special day where women all over the world are celebrated for their social, economic, cultural and political achievements. The campaign theme for this year is #EachForEqual.
Over the years, we have been observing an increasing number of inspiring women leaders and their significant contributions across the globe, which is a great sign of women empowerment. However, some women still find it a challenge to embrace themselves and realise their worth. Self love is especially difficult for women, since the society has set unrealistic expectations for them, hence making them feel like they are not enough.
Here’s a collection of self love quotes by women for women who need a little boost and a reminder that simply believing in themselves can make a difference.
