International Women’s Day
International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global celebration of women’s social, economic, cultural, and political achievements. It also marks a call-to-action to accelerate gender equality and parity. IWD is about unity, reflection, advocacy, and action – both globally and locally.

Everyone in the room was left inspired by Jelena’s remarkable story of resilience, empowerment, and the power of being vulnerable.
