Celebrating International Women’s Day 2024
What is the International Women’s Day 2024 theme?
The theme of International Women’s Day 2024 is #InspireInclusion. Inclusion is the pathway to creating a world that welcomes everyone. As a society, it’s crucial that we not only embrace but actively promote inclusion across various aspects of life, including well-being, employment, technology, sports, and social leadership. Inclusion involves ensuring impartial treatment, providing equal opportunities, and unrestricted access for all individuals. A key aspect is recognising the existing advantages and barriers that have hindered women, in particular, from participating and progressing in various domains.
Our Campaign
Our campaign acknowledges the barriers that have historically held women back in different areas. This year’s initiative urges allies to contribute to the social, economic, cultural, and political advancement of women. When women are included and empowered, it’s not just a win for them—it’s a win for society as a whole. It’s an investment in a brighter, more innovative future where everyone can contribute their unique skills and insights. This campaign’s objective is to celebrate and showcase women’s achievements, aiming to inspire others to pursue careers in trade, treasury, or payments, demonstrating that success is attainable.
As we commemorate International Women’s Day 2024, we’ll shine a spotlight on the careers, experiences, and achievements of women in international trade, treasury, and payments. It’s time to witness women breaking barriers and excelling in fields that were once dominated by men.
What does #InspireInclusion mean to TFG?
#InspireInclusion embodies our commitment to breaking down barriers. At its core inclusivity requires a shift in mindset. It’s about questioning biases and challenging preconceived notions. It’s acknowledging that equality isn’t achieved by treating everyone the same but by addressing individual needs and circumstances. Inclusivity is about ensuring that no voice is left unheard, no talent is left untapped, and no opportunity is unfairly denied.
The theme calls on individuals and societies to actively participate in the ongoing journey toward a more inclusive world. It’s an invitation to be allies, advocates, and catalysts for change. By understanding, appreciating, and actively promoting inclusivity, we pave the way for a future where every woman has the chance to thrive and contribute to the fullest extent of her abilities.
