WOMENS DAY - EqualWorld

Event Overview

EqualWorld held a special Women’s Day event at Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar (KTJ), dedicated to honoring the history and significance of this important day. Students gathered for a presentation that traced the origins of Women’s Day and reflected on why continued awareness and celebration matter today. As a symbol of solidarity, purple ribbons were handmade by the EqualWorld volunteer team, and distributed to over 900 students, who proudly wore them throughout the day in a show of unity and support, and continue to wear them even almost a year later. Purple, a color long associated with the Women’s Day movement, transformed the campus into a visible display of collective celebration.

About

The event also featured an interactive board where students could write down their thoughts, messages of support, and reflections on the importance of gender equality. The board quickly filled with heartfelt notes, showing just how many students embraced the initiative and wanted their voices to be part of it. Through education, symbolism, and shared expression, EqualWorld and the KTJ community came together to celebrate Women’s Day in a meaningful and memorable way.
