Calibre challenges gender inequality by promoting diversity and inclusion

International Women’s Day (IWD) has been recognised since 1911 and honours the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, in New Zealand and all over the world. This year’s campaign theme for International Women’s Day is ‘Choose to Challenge’. A challenged world is an alert world. And from challenge comes change.
