International Women's Day

March 8 is International Women's Day

 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.

For International Women's Day and beyond, let's all fully #EmbraceEquity.

Equity isn't just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have.

A focus on gender equity needs to be part of every society's DNA.

And it's critical to understand the difference between equity and equality.

The aim of the IWD 2023 #EmbraceEquity campaign theme is to get the world talking about Why equal opportunities aren't enough. People start from different places, so true inclusion and belonging require equitable action. Read more about this here.

All IWD activity is valid, that's what makes IWD inclusive.
