#ChoosetoChallenge
#ChooseToChallenge and show your support on social media!
One of this year’s official International Women’s Day themes is #ChooseToChallenge. It’s a call-to-action to challenge the status quo by raising awareness against bias, celebrating women's achievement, supporting women and their businesses, and taking action for equality.
One simple, yet impactful way to celebrate International Women’s Day this year is to show your commitment to challenging inequality by taking part in the #ChooseToChallenge social media campaign.
To take part in this campaign, take a photo of yourself raising your hand high and share it on your preferred social media platform(s). Caption the photo using #ChooseToChallenge and #IWD2021 along with the statement “This year for women’s empowerment day I choose to challenge…” Finish the phrase with whatever inequality you wish to challenge and then nominate three other people you know to do the same.
