6 Ways To Power Up Your International Women's Day
International Women's Day is a time to celebrate women’s contributions to the world and focus on the fight for equality.
Together, we have made great strides. Recent years have seen us gain hard-fought rights and increase the power of women. But the work is far from over - and we need you.
Especially against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, we must all rally together, raise our voices and take action to invest in women in fragile and conflict-affected areas - because they are the key to a peaceful future.
Each of us can make a difference. In big and small ways, we all have the #PowerToChange the world.
Unsure where to begin? Here are six ways to power up your International Women's Day!

Support our Ukraine response
In just a few days, the lives of millions of Ukrainian people have been shattered by the Russian invasion. Nearly 3 million people have fled the war, most of them women and children. We are seeing women face racial discrimination and they are at risk of gender-based violence in this crisis.
Donate today to help women affected by this conflict - whether they be displaced women in Ukraine who are being discriminated against, or women fleeing alone and at risk of trafficking or abuse.
Use your power to empower women
This International Women's Day, commit to using your #PowerToChange the world for the sake of all women, everywhere.
Use your power today.
