Each year International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8, with the first day being held in 1911. Thousands of events occur to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women. Organisations, governments, charities, educational institutions, women’s groups, corporations and the media celebrate the day.
This year’s theme is #BreakTheBias – which looks actively call out gender bias, discrimination and stereotyping each time you see it.
Organisers of International Women’s Day are calling for people to post their #IWD2021 message on social media with your arms crossed in the #BreakTheBias pose to show solidarity, motivate others and to make International Women’s Day your day.
