IWD: About International Women's Day
The campaign theme for International Women's Day 2021 is 'Choose To Challenge'. A challenged world is an alert world. And from challenge comes change. So let's all #ChooseToChallenge.
This Girl Can Suffolk
With IWD fast approaching, organisations across the world have been asked to share their #ChooseToChallenge images and stories. We approached our fantastic This Girl Can Suffolk Ambassadors who didn't disappoint with their brilliant stories detailing how they have shown their commitment to challenge inequality, question stereotypes and help to create an inclusive world for all.
