INTERNATIONAL Women’s Day, if the website devoted to it is anything to go by, is akin to a feel-good ad campaign promoting diversity and equality for all who identify as women.
This year’s theme is — hashtag compulsory — #ChooseToChallenge and the blurb on the website runs as follows: “A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions — all day, every day.
“We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.”
