Gladioli have a unique long and pointed shape. Because of their shape, they are named after the Latin word “gladius”, meaning
sword. In Rome, gladioli were associated with gladiators.
Because of their association with gladiators, the gladiolus flower
meaning is strength and integrity. Hence, it symbolises
beauty, strength and honour, much like a woman.
In the logo, it is held like a sword by number 8.
Number 8 reflects balance, it ignites our soul as the cyclic path of breath moving through our lungs and body is in an 8-like
pattern (infinite number).
Number 8 is the highest feminine number.
THE EVENT THE LOGO
Stereotypes about race, gender, sexual orientation, age, and other personal characteristics
shape how people perceive, interact with, and make decisions about others. For decades, the way groups of people have been portrayed by the media, popular culture, and public officials has led to biases
—often unconscious—that can result in discrimination against
women.
la femme in Spanish is
look for the woman : the cause of the situation must be a
woman.
