I am a strong believer in using the influence of the past to recognize possibilities and issues we could encounter in the future.
March 2022 – Woman’s History Month – is an opportunity to bring attention to pioneers that shaped the modern world and current trailblazers.
Women’s History Month is a wonderful celebration that is very important, especially for younger girls. Some young girls are still being told that they cannot do certain things or pursue certain career fields because they are for men. Women’s History Month lets them see that they can do and pursue whatever they want because there are women out there who paved the way for them. It is so important for young girls to have female role models to look up to because it teaches them that if their role models can do it, so can they.
The 2022 Women’s History theme, “Providing Healing, Promoting Hope,” is both a tribute to the work of caregivers and frontline workers during the pandemic and also a recognition of the thousands of ways that women of all cultures have provided both healing and hope throughout history.
Women as healers harken back to ancient times. Healing is the personal experience of transcending suffering and transforming it to wholeness. The gift of hope spreads light to the lives of others and reflects a belief in the unlimited possibilities of this and future generations. Together, healing and hope are essential fuels for our dreams and our recovery.
This year, in particular, we are reminded of the importance of healers and caregivers who are helping to promote and sustain hope for the future. The 2022 theme proudly honors those who, in both public and private life, provide healing and promote hope for the betterment of all. Understanding the significance of women can inspire change for the future. That is why we need to value and celebrate them now.
