Show Notes

International Women’s Day sparks celebrations, corporate campaigns, and a whole lot of debate. But is it still relevant?

In this episode, I unpack the contradictions around IWD.

Does it drive real change, or is it just another hashtag?

I share my personal experiences of how IWD is marked around the world, why I struggle with its meaning, and what actually needs to happen for it to be more than just a symbolic gesture.

One day isn’t enough, but does that mean we should scrap it altogether? Let’s talk!
