International Women’s Day 2023
It has been a tradition for IFAN to celebrate International Women's Day. This year we decided to produce a video that highlights the common voice of women. We gathered women from around the world to wish happy International Women's Day in their native language. Wishing everyone a happy International Women's Day in many different languages is a powerful way of celebrating the diversity of women around the world. It serves as a reminder that no matter where we come from, or what language we speak, we all share a common goal of achieving gender equality.
