08 Mar 8th March 2023 is International Women’s Day! 👩👩🦱
The campaign theme for International Women’s Day 2023 is ‘Embrace Equity’ and the focus this year is to help forge worldwide conversation about this important issue and its impact. IWD 2023 seeks to get the world talking 🗣️about why “equal opportunities are no longer enough” – and can in fact be exclusionary, rather than inclusive.
For International Women’s Day and beyond, let’s all fully #EmbraceEquity. Equity isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have. A focus on gender equity needs to be part of every society’s DNA. And it’s critical to understand the difference between equity and equality. Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities. Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances, and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome. Collectively we can all #EmbraceEquity.❤️
Equity means creating an inclusive world. Each one of us can actively support and embrace equity within our own sphere of influence. 💪We can all challenge gender stereotypes, call out discrimination, draw attention to bias, and seek out inclusion. Collective activism is what drives change. From grassroots action to wide-scale momentum, we can all embrace equity. Forging gender equity isn’t limited to women solely fighting the good fight. Allies are incredibly important for the social, economic, cultural, and political advancement of women. Everyone everywhere can play a part. Collectively, we can all forge positive change. Being included, and a sense of belonging, feel right. When we embrace equity, we embrace diversity, and we embrace inclusion. We embrace equity to forge harmony and unity, and to help drive success for all. Equality is the goal, and equity is the means to get there. Through the process of equity, we can reach equality. Embracing equity is the right thing to do. Don’t just say it. Think it. Be it. Do it. Value it. Truly embrace it. Embrace equity in all its forms.
