Is there any better way to celebrate International Women’s Day than catching Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first female-led superhero film at the cinemas? Probably. But this movie has been long overdue in the franchise. Set in the 90s, Captain Marvel follows the journey of Carol Danvers to become the title character while being caught in a conflict between two alien worlds. While critical reviews haven’t been as glowing as DC’s Wonder Women have been, representation is still hugely important. Plus, there’s the after-credit scenes to look forward to in the lead up of Avengers: Endgame next month.
Move over, boys. It’s time for us ladies to shine. As it’s International Women’s Day on March 8, there are a ton of wonderful events that celebrate and empower women in Hong Kong. From some of Hong Kong’s best bars like The Old Man and Stockton hosting guest bartender shifts featuring awesome female bartenders to powerful art exhibitions that put the spotlight on brilliant Hong Kong women, these are some of the best things to do to celebrate women.
RECOMMENDED: Find some of these events too tame? There are other ways to fight patriarchy. Here are alternative ways to celebrate International Women’s Day. Or you could stay in and catch a classic action film starring one of these badass women in martial arts.
