Happy International Women’s Day! Today, we celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women around the world.
The aim of the IWD 2023 #EmbraceEquity campaign is to get the world talking about why equal opportunities for women aren’t enough.
Here are some ways you can celebrate International Women’s Day today and every day.

Attend an event: Look for local events or virtual gatherings happening in your area to join and celebrate International Women’s Day together.
-
Learn about women’s history: Take the time to research and learn about the history of women’s rights movements and the contributions of influential women in various fields. I talk to my niece about strong women in history often.
-
Share inspiring stories: Share stories of inspiring women who have made a difference in your life or who have made a positive impact on society.
Speak up for women’s rights: Use your voice to advocate for gender equality, speak up against gender discrimination and violence against women. -
