International Women's Day, 8 March
In Hungary, men usually give flowers to their loved ones, but in Romania and Bulgaria it is celebrated together with Mother’s Day, thus children give small presents to their mothers and grandmothers. Every year International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8th and is a focal point in the movements for women’s rights.

IWD 2020 sees a number of missions to help forge a gender equal world. Celebrating women's achievements and increasing visibility, while calling out inequality, is key.

International Women's Day 2020 campaign theme is #EachforEqual

An equal world is an enabled world. Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day.

We can actively choose to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women's achievements.

Collectively, each one of us can help create a gender equal world.

So let's build a gender equal world

Equality is not a women's issue, it's a business issue. Gender equality is essential for economies and communities to thrive. 

A gender equal world can be healthier, wealthier and more harmonious - so what's not great about that?

The race is on for the gender equal boardroom, a gender equal government, gender equal media coverage, gender equal workplaces, gender equal sports coverage, more gender equality in health and wealth ... so let's make it happen.

#EachforEqual is about 'Collective Individualism'

The IWD 2020 campaign theme is drawn from a notion of 'Collective Individualism.'

We are all parts of a whole. Our individual actions, conversations, behaviors and mindsets can have an impact on our larger society.

Collectively, we can make change happen. Collectively, we can each help to create a gender equal world. 

We can all choose to be #EachforEqual.
