Apple commemorates Women’s History Month with special events and features

Collect a new Apple Watch Activity badge, do special Fitness+ workouts, and a lot more during Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day.

March is Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day is on March 8, and Apple announced on Thursday special content that will be available on Apple’s various services to commemorate the events.

If you are into collecting Apple Watch Activity badges, then you’ll want to look out for the International Women’s Day Activity Challenge. To earn this badge, you need to record a workout of 20 minutes or more. You can also earn a set of International Women’s Day animated stickers.

On International Women’s Day, Apple Fitness+ will release 24 workouts with playlists of women artists and inspirational themes. There will also be a new Time to Walk episode featuring Min Jin Lee, author of the New York Times bestselling novel, “Pachinko.”

Apple is also hosting three online events as part of its Today at Apple series. Done in cooperation with It’s Nice That, the events are “focused on redefining beauty and inclusion.” If you are interested in attending, you can sign up by clicking on the links in the list below:

The company is also conducting the Women’s Health Study, which aims to help increase understanding of women’s health issues. The study is done in partnership with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. You’ll be able to access the study through the Research app.
