One of the most important days on the global calendar is almost upon us and at kikki.K, we’re inviting everyone to get involved. That’s right, International Women’s Day 2021 #IWD2021 is on 8 March 2021, and it’s never been more important.
A global celebration of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, the day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality. And this year the theme is one of the strongest and most meaningful yet, as ‘Choose to Challenge’.
So, what does #ChooseToChallenge mean?
A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day.
We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.
From challenge comes change, so let’s all choose to challenge.*
