International Women's Day is a global day recognizing the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

We come together to celebrate women's achievements and rally for women's equality.

Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination.

A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated.

Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias.

Celebrate women's achievement.

Raise awareness against bias.

Take action for equality.
