Gender Equity Week Theme
The theme of this year’s Gender Equity Week is mobilizing women leaders. Women and other marginalized genders around the world are taking the lead to shape how we all live, work, and advocate for ourselves. In the past year, we’ve seen women around the world advocate for civil liberties and push for what they need at work and beyond. When we mobilize and bring allies along with us, we are unstoppable.
