This day, women are celebrated ~~all over the world~~ in many places of the world. But do we have to celebrate only one day per year? (And this goes for every National Day) Well No, but every now and then it does help when this one day every year we remember to - share statistics^{[1]( https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-08/glimmers-of-hope-for-women-in-the-male-dominated-tech-industry)} - remember that there is still a huuuge gender gap in many sectors (Blockchain included)^{[2]( https://www.ccn.com/narrowing-blockchain-gender-gap)
- share inspirational quotes all over social media

# Women, Numbers and Stories sometimes help us remember the child hidden within

I must admit that plenty of times, I feel really inspired with the truth in [people stories](https://twitter.com/MrCliveC/status/971696820681412608)

I was not sure if I would write a themed article today; But when a few days ago, this [article]( https://steemit.com/steemsugars/@steemsugars/steemsugar-social-media-launch) came to my feed, I knew that I had to present this wonderful initiative to the world.

There is no point of keeping secrets, when you see something that is made with a lot of love and is full of hope for the future; Then you need to help and bring that project forward.
Help in putting another brick in the wall. _{*[Thoughts continued after the little pink heart. Scroll to find it]*}

So, for you who might not already know them…

Steemsugars is an idea by @meanmommy33 taking shape and flesh after the famous SteemFest that took place in Lisbon last year^{[3]( https://steemit.com/@steemfest)}. The main idea was to
> bring more 'female power' on the platform
[source]( https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemsugars/a-new-steemfest-idea-please-welcome-steemsugars-more-women-on-steemit)
# Yes, but WHY?

The idea was perceived after noticing an astonishing 20% of women (only) taking part in the SteemFest of Lisbon.

# How will this initiative be promoted?
[from @meanmommy33 article ](https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemsugars/a-new-steemfest-idea-please-welcome-steemsugars-more-women-on-steemit)
>By promoting Steemit to other Women, explaining and helping them understand the concept and start blogging!
>By doing relevant posts [the first one coming up shortly!] and resteem supporters, promoters and fellow female Steemians who are new and are learning the platform just now!

# Some final thoughts
I do not think that the whole point is for women to be superior or be equal. People are People.Values are there or are not. Respect should exist for everyone, independently of their gender, color, nationality, state. This is why I strongly believe that we need pure hearts and we should not think "Who am I to save the world?". It all starts in us individually and we need to believe in ourselves in order to step forward and make an impact.

# You are not a drop in the ocean. Be the ocean in a drop.
## And this stands for each and everyone of us.
