Celebrating International Women’s Day

On March 8, countries around the world celebrate International Women’s Day. This day highlights the achievements of women and girls but also raises awareness about the long road ahead in achieving gender parity. So, on this special day, we wanted to salute the women who have shaped the Magic Bag brand and products. Whether as members of our team or as customers, you inspire us, lead us, and contribute to our success. Today, we salute you!

What is International Women’s Day?

International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global day of recognition celebrating the social, cultural, and economic achievements of women and girls, and raising awareness of the work that remains to be done. First observed in 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, the event drew over a million men and women who rallied for women’s rights. Emerging from labour movements in North America and Europe, participants campaigned for women’s’ rights to work, vote, and hold public office, and to end discrimination. Since then, numerous countries around the world have joined in on the fight. And the United Nations officially celebrated the day for the first time in 1975 marking the beginning of an important tradition.

#AccelerateAction. At the current rate of progress, it will take until 2158, which is roughly five generations from now, to reach full gender parity, according to data from the World Economic Forum.

Focusing on the need to Accelerate Action emphasizes the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. It calls for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face, both in personal and professional spheres.

#AccelerateAction with Magic Bag

While women’s rights have come a long way since 1911, we know that there is still a lot of work to be done. While we may not be able to accomplish gender parity in our lifetimes, we can all work toward a more inclusive and diverse world and workplace. At Magic Bag, we are proud that 67% of our executive team identify as women. We embrace what every female employee brings to the table and how they have positively affected our brand values for over 30 years!

Products for today’s woman

Studies suggest that women are most often the ones making consumer decisions in their households. As such, we want to create products that are representative of their needs and likes. Products that embrace the feminine energy that guides our brand. An energy that is strong, nurturing, fierce, empathetic, intuitive, emotional, passionate, and caring. From our nurturing Warmy line for kids, to our classic soothing compresses, to our sports gel compresses, to our pampering spa line, we want our products to reflect the modern woman and the many roles  that she can explore throughout her lifetime. Be it a mother, CEO, manager, athlete, artist, activist, student, or other. We just hope Magic Bag can play a small part in their incredible journey, soothing their aches and pains and providing comfort when they need it most.

We hope that you will all join us in celebrating the achievements of women this International Women’s Day and choose to challenge bias and discrimination. Together, we can work toward a more inclusive and fair world.
