ITS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!

International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Significant activity is witnessed worldwide as groups come together to celebrate women’s achievements or rally for women’s equality.

Marked annually on March 8th, IWD is one of the most important days of the year to:

• celebrate women’s achievements
• educate and awareness raise for women’s equality
• call for positive change advancing women
• lobby for accelerated gender parity
• fundraise for female-focused charities

Everyone, everywhere can play a part in helping forge gender equality. From a wide range of IWD campaigns, events, rallies, lobbying and performances – to festivals, parties, fun runs and celebrations – all IWD activity is valid. That’s what makes IWD inclusive.

For IWD 2023, the global campaign theme is #EmbraceEquity.

The campaign aims to encourage important conversations on Why equal opportunities aren’t enough and Why equal isn’t always fair. People start from different places, so true inclusion and belonging require equitable action.

We can all challenge gender stereotypes, call out discrimination, draw attention to bias, and seek out inclusion. Collective activism is what drives change. From grassroots action to wide-scale momentum, we can all embrace equity. 

And to truly embrace equity, means to deeply believe, value, and seek out difference as a necessary and positive element of life. To embrace equity means to understand the journey required to achieve women’s equality.

Learn about the campaign theme here, and consider the difference between equity and equality.

IWD was started in 1911, and remains an important moment for working to advance women’s equality with the day belonging to everyone, everywhere.

Stay safe and take care,
