Planet 50-50 by 2030: Step It Up for Gender Equality

With the conclusion of this year's One Billion Rising global campaign to end violence against women and girls this past weekend, the excitement is building as Hong Kong, like the rest of the world, gears up for International Women's Day on March 8!

The United Nations' theme for this year's International Women's Day is “Planet 50-50 by 2030: Step It Up for Gender Equality” urging governments, organisations and individuals to commit to action plans to achieve a gender equal society by 2030.

If you’re looking for ways to celebrate IWD here in Hong Kong, be sure to check out our upcoming events below. We hope to see you at one or more of them!
