"We can actively choose to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations, and celebrate women's achievements", the campaign said. " Collectively, each one of us can help create a gender-equal world. Let's all be #EachforEqual."

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.

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. Let's be #EachforEqual.

To motivate others to join and spread this year's theme message, put your arms in front and strike the #EachforEqual Pose. "Do what you can to truly make a positive difference for women everywhere", according to the campaign.

In 1975, the United Nations officially recognized International Women’s Day. In 1996, the organization began to adopt an annual theme for every year. The first theme was "Celebrating the past, Planning for the Future."
