Celebrating Women’s Achievements: Empowering Stories from Across the Globe

International Women’s Day 2023 was celebrated on the 8th of March and the theme for this year was an extremely enthralling one- ‘Embrace Equity’. The theme ‘Embrace Equity’ aims to close the gap between genders and drive positive changes to boost economic growth by empowering women and girls. 

And to make a small contribution to this, Outgrow decided to dedicate the entire month of March to celebrating women and their accomplishments that have led to groundbreaking discoveries, policies, and movements that have changed the course of history. So, let’s have a look at how we observed International Women’s Day 2023!

How Outgrow Celebrated Women Leaders 

To honor some of the most successful women today, we at Outgrow, initiated several campaigns to spark a conversation around this year’s theme. 

To start with, we conducted an online TweetChat session. We reached out to some amazing women leaders who have done tremendously well in their fields and asked them their opinion on how they are creating an equitable workplace for all. 

Moreover, apart from the TweetChat sessions, the Outgrow team also created some exciting and interactive posts on social media in order to spread the word about women who have made invaluable contributions to today’s world in every field, from science and technology to politics and social justice.

So, let’s tell you more about our campaigns and our attempt to propagate how we should aim for equality not just in society but also in the workplace.

IWD 2023 TweetChat Campaign

As already mentioned, we reached out to some women leaders of today to conduct an online TweetChat campaign. And to get our campaign trending, we used engaging hashtags like #LeadingwithChange and #RewritingRules.

In order to start the discussion, the social media team at Outgrow created some enticing carousel posts. Furthermore, to make it more interesting, they threw some engrossing questions to the attendees. Some of them include-

This post simply depicts how some women across the world have created history and contributed to making the world a better place. Additionally, it includes images of some of the most well-known women like Marie Curie, Mother Teresa, Queen Elizabeth II, and more.

We created the above post to promote the TweetChat session which was held on March 7, 2023. Through the hashtags, we made an attempt to depict what we were trying to achieve through this campaign. 

Now, let’s have a look at some of the questions that we asked our guests.
