Women and allies around the world are joining together on Twitter to share their experiences, challenges and successes. They share the changes they want to see, foster dialogue and debate, and celebrate their accomplishments, while also acknowledging progress that remains ahead.
Throughout the past few years powerful voices and movements have come together to speak up for women’s rights.
#SheInspiresMe is Twitter’s campaign to shine a light on inspiring women. Marking this year’s International Women’s Day, it is celebrating women “who are not only on top of their game, but who are also increasing visibility of women across sports, entertainment, politics and more, and inspiring young women and girls across the world”.
