What is International Women's Day 2021 Theme?


IWD 2021 campaign theme: #ChooseToChallenge​


A challenged world is an alert world.

Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day.

We can choose to challenge and call out gender stereotypes, discrimination and bias.

We can choose to seek out and celebrate women's achievements.

Collectively, we can create an inclusive and more gender-equal world.

From challenge comes change, so let's all choose to challenge.
