On 8th March 2024, the world will celebrate International Women's Day (IWD).
This is a day to challenge stereotypes of women, broaden perceptions of what is possible and celebrate women's achievements. IWD is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Significant activity is witnessed worldwide as groups come together to celebrate women's achievements or rally for women's equality.
IWD is one of the most important days of the year to: • Celebrate women's achievements • Educate and raise awareness for women's equality • Call for positive change advancing women • Lobby for accelerated gender parity • Fundraise for female-focused charities
How to get involved… • Attend any local events: Many cities host marches, workshops, conferences, and more in honour of IWD • Support Women-Owned Businesses: Make an effort to purchase from businesses owned and operated by women
• Educate and raise awareness: Share stories, articles, and resources about women’s achievements and the challenges they face. • Wear purple: Purple is the official colour of International Women’s Day. Wearing it shows solidarity and support • Engage on social media: Use the official hashtags to join the conversation and amplify the voices of women worldwide.
Where Women work makes all the difference IWD provides a key moment to celebrate the achievements of women in the workplace and shine a light on the employers supporting them.
2024 campaign theme: #InspireInclusion When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world.
And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance and empowerment. The aim of the IWD 2024 #InspireInclusion campaign is to collectively forge a more inclusive world for women. Everyone can inspire inclusion. Organizations, groups, and individuals worldwide can all play a part - in the community, at work, at home, and beyond. To truly include women means to openly embrace their diversity of race, age, ability, faith, body image, and how they identify. Worldwide, women must be included in all fields of endeavour.
Are you in? Will you inspire inclusion? Strike the #InspireInclusion pose to show solidarity. When we truly value difference, inclusion comes from the heart.

We are extremely proud and grateful for all the incredible work our female employees do every day!
