Embracing Inclusion & Equal Opportunities

international women’s day

"Inclusion isn't just a buzzword for us—it's a fundamental value that guides everything we do."

As International Women's Day approaches, it's a time for reflection, celebration, and action. It's a day that not only honors the achievements of women but also serves as a reminder of the work still to be done in the pursuit of gender equality and empowerment.


At The Freelance Florist, we believe in the power of inclusivity and equal opportunities. From the very beginning, these principles have been at the core of our mission. We understand that diversity enriches us, that it brings different perspectives, experiences, and talents to the table. Inclusion isn't just a buzzword for us—it's a fundamental value that guides everything we do.


When we set out on this journey, we envisioned a community where everyone, regardless of gender, race, or background, could thrive and succeed. We wanted to create a space where creativity knows no bounds, where passion and talent are the only prerequisites for success. And we're proud to say that we've made significant strides in turning that vision into reality.


But our work is far from over. International Women's Day serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges that women continue to face around the world. From the gender pay gap to systemic barriers to career advancement, there's still much progress to be made.


That's why, on this International Women's Day, we recommit ourselves to the cause of gender equality. We pledge to continue fostering an environment where women feel supported, empowered, and valued. We will strive to create opportunities for growth and development, to challenge stereotypes and biases, and to advocate for policies that promote fairness and inclusivity. The floral industry is made up of around 70% women, and we recognise how powerful that is!


Achieving true equality requires more than just words—it requires action. It requires each and every one of us to take a stand, to speak up, and to support one another. Whether it's through mentorship programs, networking events, or simply amplifying the voices of women in our communities, we all have a role to play in creating a more equitable world.


So let's use this International Women's Day as a catalyst for change. Let's celebrate the incredible achievements of women everywhere, while also recognising the work that still needs to be done. Together, we can build a future where every person has the opportunity to flourish and thrive, regardless of their background.


Happy International Women's Day to all the amazing women out there. Your strength, resilience, and determination inspire us every single day. Here's to a future where equality isn't just a dream, but a reality for all.
