Happy International Women’s Day!

 

Today, we celebrate the incredible social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women around the globe and share a call to action to continue to build an equitable and inclusive world.

This year’s theme of #EmbraceEquity reminds us that creating equity benefits everyone, and that we must continue to work together to achieve it.

As part of our celebration, we wanted to recommend 12 women you can follow (and where) as they share their experiences, fight for inclusion, and make a positive impact in our community.

Let’s celebrate all women and join together to raise awareness and create a more inclusive and equitable world, where everyone is free from bias and discrimination.
