What’s the IWD 2023 campaign theme?
For IWD 2023, the global campaign theme is #EmbraceEquity.
The campaign aims to encourage important conversations on why equal opportunities aren’t enough and why equal isn’t always fair. People start from different places, so true inclusion and belonging require equitable action.
Embracing equity around women’s health
One of the missions of IWD is “to assist women to be in a position of power to make informed decisions about their health“. Hormone Health embraces this mission and to support International Women’s Day we’ve included below links to some useful information to help women make informed decisions about their health.
