A challenged world is an alert world.
Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day.
We can choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequity. We can choose to seek out and celebrate women's achievements.
Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.
From challenge comes change, so let's all choose to challenge.
Strike the #ChooseToChallenge pose
Raise your hand assertively and show that you choose to challenge inequity.
Show your solidarity in choosing to challenge and call out aspects that are unhelpful to women.
Will you raise your hand high and pledge to #ChooseToChallenge?
