International Women’s Day 2025 is more than just a date on the calendar—it’s a time to recognise, celebrate and uplift women, especially small business owners. Across Australia, countless women are leading the way in creative industries, offering unique products, services and experiences that bring communities together.
Supporting women-owned small businesses has a meaningful impact on our world. When you choose to advocate for female entrepreneurs, you’re empowering women in business and fostering a culture of inclusivity. Whether it’s buying a boutique fashion piece designed by a female-led brand or booking into a creative workshop run by a passionate artist, your support helps these businesses thrive.
This International Women’s Day, take the opportunity to shop small, share their work and spread the word about the incredible talent and creativity that women bring to the business world. Whether online or in-person, every purchase, booking or social media shoutout can make a difference. Let’s celebrate by being intentional with our choices and lifting each other up!

5 Ideas to celebrate International Women's Day 2025
Looking for ideas for celebrating International Women’s Day in a fun and meaningful way? Here are five great ways to mark the occasion while supporting and uplifting women in your community.
- Attend a women-owned business workshop
One of the best things to do for International Women’s Day is to book a creative workshop led by female entrepreneurs. Whether it’s a painting class, a floristry workshop or a DIY skincare session, these experiences allow you to celebrate women’s creativity while learning something new. Bring your friends, family or colleagues for a memorable experience! - Shop at women-owned small businesses
Take the time to support female-led brands, whether online or in-person. From handmade jewellery and eco-friendly skincare to locally designed fashion and home decor, there are endless ways to shop small and make a difference. Many businesses also offer special promotions for International Women’s Day, so it’s a great time to discover new favourites. - Host a women’s day gathering
Celebrate the incredible women in your life by organising a gathering, whether it’s a brunch, book club or evening cocktail event. Use the occasion to share stories, reflect on achievements and appreciate the inspiring women around you. You could even include a fun activity like a collage art class or a paint and sip workshop to make it extra special. - Give back to women’s charities and initiatives
If you’re looking for meaningful women's day activities, consider giving back. Donate to organisations that support women’s empowerment, education or health initiatives. Volunteering your time or raising awareness for a cause can be a powerful way to contribute to gender equality and make a lasting impact. - Share stories and inspire others
Use your platform—whether it’s social media, your workplace or your community—to highlight and celebrate women’s achievements. Share stories of inspiring female leaders, artists and changemakers who you admire. By amplifying their voices, you can help create a culture of recognition and appreciation for women in the world.
