TikTok has unveiled its celebration of women for International Women’s Day.
The announcement:
This International Women’s Day we celebrate the incredible women who showcase their diverse voices, strength and creativity, making a lasting impact on the global TikTok community and beyond.
International Women’s Day is an important time to recognise women’s achievements, but also to commit to the advancement of women’s leadership and economic empowerment globally. This year’s IWD theme, #ChoosetoChallenge, is a rallying cry for all women and allies to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. From challenge comes change and collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.
