#BalanceforBetter: Better the Balance – Better the World

The fight for the gender-balanced boardroom, a gender-balanced government, gender-balanced media coverage, a gender-balance of employees, more gender-balance in wealth and gender-balanced sports coverage is on. Then again it’s been on for a long while and most recently with the #metoo movement and social media giving women empowerment to speak their voice and rally for gender equality. It is imperative to have gender balance and essential for economies along with communities so they can thrive.

This year’s IWD 2019 campaign theme is #BalanceforBetter and it just doesn’t run only on IWD but runs all year long. The campaign theme provides a unified direction to guide and galvanize continuous collective action, with #BalanceforBetter activity reinforced and amplified all year.
