International Women's Day

International Women’s Day articles exploring women’s sexuality, empowerment, equality and lived experience.

International Women’s Day takes place every year on 8 March. It is a moment to recognise the achievements of women around the world, while also acknowledging the inequalities and challenges that still exist.

On Cara Sutra, these conversations naturally extend into sexuality, autonomy, pleasure, identity and power. Women’s lives cannot be separated into neat boxes. Our bodies, relationships, politics, health and personal stories are all connected.

This collection brings together my writing related to International Women’s Day. Some pieces discuss feminism and gender equality directly. Others explore topics that matter deeply to women, including sexual agency, pleasure, shame, ageing, perimenopause and cultural attitudes toward female sexuality.

Articles About International Women’s Day

Several articles in this category reflect directly on International Women’s Day itself, exploring what the day means in modern society and why conversations about equality still matter.

These posts examine how cultural attitudes toward women continue to shape our lives. They also look at the progress that has been made and the areas where change is still urgently needed.

Women’s Sexuality, Pleasure and Autonomy

Much of my work centres on women reclaiming sexual autonomy and pleasure. For generations, female sexuality has been misunderstood, shamed or ignored.

Many of the articles collected here explore topics such as masturbation, orgasm, sexual confidence and the right to pursue pleasure without stigma. International Women’s Day is a powerful reminder that bodily autonomy and sexual freedom remain essential parts of gender equality.

Women’s Health, Ageing and Personal Experience

Women’s lives also change over time. Experiences such as ageing, perimenopause, motherhood and shifting identity shape how we relate to our bodies and sexuality.

Some articles in this category reflect on those personal journeys. They explore how women navigate health changes, societal expectations and evolving self identity.

Culture, Language and Representation

Language, media and culture influence how women are perceived and treated. From everyday sexist phrases to broader cultural narratives, these influences shape the way women move through the world.

Several articles here explore those cultural dynamics and challenge assumptions about gender, sexuality and power.

Why International Women’s Day Still Matters

International Women’s Day is not only about celebrating achievements. It is also about continuing conversations that push society forward.

Gender equality, bodily autonomy, sexual wellbeing and representation are all part of the same wider picture. These articles reflect on those themes through personal writing, commentary and practical discussion.
