August is Women’s Month. Uplift the ladies in your life and your community. Here are six easy ways to do it.

1. Express your gratitude

If there is a woman in your life who has been an inspiration or mentor, let them know how much you appreciate them and say thank you.

2. Give women compliments

Women are often made to feel inferior by society. Be different and lift someone’s mood by giving another woman a sincere compliment.

3. Share work + achievements

Know a woman who has done, or continues to do, amazing work? Share this with people by word of mouth and on your social media. 

4. Support women’s businesses

There are loads of women-led companies in SA. Try to buy your products from them and promote their business to show them support.

5. Promote gender equality

Engage people in conversations about women’s rights and attend, or organise, events that delve into the issues affecting women.

6. Support women’s charities

If you want to give your time or money (or both) to a worthy cause, consider a charity that focuses on women’s issue and their upliftment.
