About this event

International Women’s Day (IWD) is an anual event to celebrate women. It marks a moment to celebrate remarkable and incredible women around the world, and is a call to action for accelerating gender parity. The theme for this year IWD is “Dare To Be”

Dare to Be meaning...

We bravely set out to accomplish our goals.

We don’t let others dictate what we can or cannot be.

We are unapologetically ourselves.

We have the courage to stand up for what we believe.

We recognize everyone has something unique to contribute.
