International Women’s Day 2021 (IWD) is a day of celebration for women everywhere. March 8th is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.
IWD has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific.
IWD 2021 campaign theme: #ChooseToChallenge
Individuals and organizations are encouraged to use the hashtag #ChooseToChallenge when sharing images or stories about IWD 2021.
So strike the #ChooseToChallenge pose with your hand high to show your commitment to choose to challenge inequality, call out bias, question stereotypes, and help forge an inclusive world.
