Take Action to Support Gender Equality this IWD

International Women's Day is March 8th, and this year the theme is #EachforEqual. We all have a part to play in working for gender equality - so we wanted to share a list of a few ways you can take action in March and all year to make a difference. 

• @therepproject: to fight gender stereotypes (check out their films!)
• @awidwomensrights: for a global perspective on feminist movements around the world
• @wedo_worldwide: to support gender equality and climate justice
• @catalystinc: to support workplace inclusion
• @plannedparenthood: to support reproductive justice
• @sheshouldrun to support getting more women to run for office
• @girlupcampaign for inspiring content about girls around the world

 

Nominate a woman (or 10!) you know would be great in public leadership.

EDUCATE OTHERS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF GIRLS’ EDUCATION & GENDER EQUALITY
