International Women's Day

It's our first time celebrating International Women's Day and we wanted to make sure we did it right. We want to get your attention and shift it toward the important topics that women need to discuss. This year's IWD theme is - we've put together an evening panel in the hopes of doing the topic justice!#EmbraceEquity

Expect an evening that challenges your thoughts, where you'll hear from women of impact for the purpose of shedding the light on conversations that we need to have. 

The theme for this year's International Women's Day #EmbraceEquity discussion is "Celebrating Women" through  "Forging Change" and "Defining Boundaries", which highlights the contributions of women who are leaders in their fields, and aims to inspire others to make a difference. The panel discussion features extraordinary women in Hong Kong from diverse backgrounds who have taken action to promote gender equality, challenge gender norms, and advance women's rights.
