International Women’s Day is marked on 8 March to highlight gender disparity and the importance of generational equality.
On the International Women’s Day website, it says the theme for this year is an equal world is an enabled world. #EachForEqual celebrates women’s achievement and raises awareness against bias and taking action for equality.
International Women’s Day highlights the importance of fighting for equality every day by actively choosing to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women’s achievements.
Many industries in the corporate world are still battling to have gender-equal boardrooms, including in government, media coverage, workplaces, sports coverage and gender equality in health and wealth.
One of the ways to achieve this is collective individualism according to the website, collectively, we can each help to create a gender-equal world.
Twitter users showed their support of the day:
