#IWD2017
International Women’s Day as a vehicle for change, is it possible?
Last year, organizations and individuals around the world supported the #PledgeForParity campaign and committed to help women and girls achieve their ambitions; challenge conscious and unconscious bias; call for gender-balanced leadership; value women and men’s contributions equally; and create inclusive flexible cultures. From awareness raising to concrete action, organizations rallied their people to pledge support to help forge gender parity on International Women’s Day (IWD) and beyond.
But the World Economic Forum predicts the gender gap won’t close entirely until 2186. This is too long to wait. Around the world, IWD can be an important catalyst and vehicle for driving greater change for women and moving closer to gender parity.
What if the world truly stepped up to take bold action? Will you #BeBoldForChange on International Women’s Day 2017 and beyond by taking ground breaking action that truly drives the greatest change for women.
We have urgent work to do. Are you ready to #BeBoldForChange this IWD 2017 and beyond?
