How do YOU celebrate International Women’s Day?

Building a world which celebrates women is vital to shifting the global paradigm for women’s equality. Sometimes advancing this change means trading the picket sign for your party shoes and celebrating ourselves and the women who inspire us.

We’re hosting an online party, mapping celebrations across the globe to highlight the collective energy of women celebrating women. And we want to hear from you!

This March, join World Pulse in championing courage, innovation, and possibility with women and men from 190 countries.
