March 8, 2021 - International Women’s Day, March 8, is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.
A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change.
So let’s all choose to challenge.
How will you help forge a gender equal world? Celebrate women’s achievement. Raise awareness against bias. Take action for equality.
The launch of Women in Cycling on Feb. 24 is a recent initiative and catalyst in helping women achieve their goals – read more and sign up here.
International Women’s Day is powered by the collective efforts of all and the 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.” So make International Women’s Day your day and do what you can to truly make a positive difference for women.
