International Women’s Day is celebrated annually, on the 8th March. This year the 2023 campaign theme is #EmbraceEquity.

Equity means creating a fair and equal world.

Everyone everywhere can play a part and collectively we can all forge positive change by changing mindsets.

When we embrace equity, we embrace diversity and inclusion.

Let’s all embrace equity today, and always.

Strike the #EmbraceEquity pose. Show the world your huge embrace. Strike the IWD pose to show solidarity.

Share your #EmbraceEquity image, video, resources, presentation, and articles across social media using #IWD2023 #EmbraceEquity to encourage others to help forge an inclusive world.
