March 8, 2021 — International Women’s Day 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.

This year’s theme is “Choose To Challenge” meaning calling out inequality when you see it. A challenged world is an alert world — and from challenge comes change.

This International Women’s Day we #ChooseToChallenge stereotypes, call out inequality, and celebrate women’s achievements. Join us on this journey to shine a spotlight on activity encouraging and uplifting women to pursue goals without bias or barriers.
