International Women’s Day 2024 at MUST
It is that time of the year for us all to celebrate women. It is the month of March, and March 8, 2024, is a few days away. Theme for IWD 2024: “Inspire Inclusion”
What does it mean to inspire inclusion truly?
Inspiring inclusion means celebrating diversity and empowerment on International Women’s Day 2024 and beyond.
International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. Each year, this day serves as a powerful reminder of the progress made toward gender equality and highlights the work that still needs to be done. In 2024, the campaign theme Inspire Inclusion emphasizes the importance of diversity and empowerment in all aspects of society.
This year’s campaign theme underscores the crucial role of inclusion in achieving gender equality. It calls for action to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create environments where all women are valued and respected. Inspire Inclusion encourages everyone to recognize the unique perspectives and contributions of women from all walks of life, including those from marginalized communities.
One of the key pillars of Inspire Inclusion is the promotion of diversity in leadership and decision-making positions. Women, especially those belonging to underrepresented groups, continue to face barriers when seeking leadership roles. By championing inclusion, organizations, and communities can harness the full potential of diverse perspectives, leading to better decision-making and innovation.
Education and awareness play vital roles in fostering inclusion and empowering women. Through mentorship programs, educational workshops, and advocacy campaigns, individuals and organizations can create opportunities for women to thrive. By providing support and resources, women can be empowered to overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential.
As we celebrate International Women’s Day 2024 and reflect on the theme of Inspire Inclusion, let us reaffirm our commitment to creating a world where all women are empowered, valued, and included. By working together to break down barriers and foster diversity, we can build a more equitable and inclusive society for generations to come.

When we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, we forge a better world and when women are inspired to be included, there’s a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment.
How will you inspire inclusion?
On an individual basis, it’s important to understand, value, and seek out the inclusion of women and girls. Additionally, sharing knowledge, support, and encouragement with others is key.
On an organizational or group basis, there are many ways to ensure the needs, interests, and aspirations of women and girls are valued and included. Organizations and groups can #InspireInclusion through action in areas such as:
