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 #EmbraceEquity – which aims to get the world talking about why equal opportunities aren’t enough.
Organisers of International Women’s Day are calling for people to post their #IWD2023 message on social media striking the #EmbraceEquity pose to show solidarity, forge harmony and unity, motivate others and to make International Women’s Day your day.
The United Nations have also set a separate theme of ‘DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality‘, to celebrate the women and girls who are championing the advancement of inclusive and transformative technology and digital education.
