International Women’s Day

8 March

With a vision of creating a world where women and girls everywhere have equal rights and opportunities, International Women’s Day (IWD) is a time to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

We work with some of the brightest and bravest women in business, media, sport and STEM. With stories to share of triumphs, challenges and progress, their words will inspire men and women alike to show their support for gender equality – in the workplace, and everywhere.

More information and resources about International Women’s Day are available here.
