International Women’s Day, celebrated annually on March 8, is more than just a commemoration. It’s a global call to action, a rallying cry to #InspireInclusion in society and the workplace. This day, which has been observed for over a century, shines a spotlight on the achievements, challenges, and struggles of women worldwide.

 

The official United Nations theme for International Women’s Day 2024 is "Invest in Women: Accelerating Progress". This theme underscores the importance of investing in women’s potential as a key driver of social, economic, and political progress. The Women’s Leadership Institute (WLI), for instance, is one such initiative that has been making strides in this direction.

 

 

However, despite the progress, there are still significant hurdles to overcome. Women continue to face challenges in achieving equal pay and securing leadership positions. For instance, women in the U.S. earned 83 cents for every dollar men earned in 2022. 

 

International Women’s Day serves as a reminder of the work that still needs to be done. It’s a day to inspire inclusion, break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create environments where all women are valued and respected4. It’s a day to recognize the unique perspectives and contributions of women from all walks of life, including those from marginalized communities.

 

As we celebrate International Women’s Day and reflect on the progress made, it’s also a time to look ahead. How can we continue to invest in women and accelerate progress? What actions can we take to inspire inclusion and forge a better world? We’d love to hear your thoughts. How do you think we can further accelerate progress and inspire inclusion? Please share your views.
