• Campaign theme: #EmbraceEquity, aims to get the world talking about why "equal opportunities are no longer enough."
• Mission: to help forge a gender equal world.
• Celebrating women's achievements and increasing visibility, while calling out inequality, is key.

Collective action and shared ownership for driving gender parity is what makes International Women's Day impactful. Gloria Steinem, world-renowned feminist, journalist, and activist once explained "The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights." Make International Women's Day your day and do what you can to make a positive difference for women.
