The theme for International Women's Day this year is - Choose To Challenge. We can choose to celebrate women and we can choose to question inequality. Every single person's opinion and actions count, so all of us need to collectively come forward and challenge all that is pulling us back instead of forward. This year let's look at ten Indian women who made history by pushing through the gender norms and showing us that we can do whatever we set out minds to.

International women's day 2023 - choose to challenge. Equity is not just a nice to have; it is a requirement. Famous women personalities suggest it's high time to prioritize gender equity in every society. Inspirational women in India know the difference between justice and equality. We expect great women in India to challenge and defend against prejudice, expose discrimination, and encourage inclusion. Women repress their emotions to prevent discomfort for others. But now the era has changed, we expect women to speak up for their needs and want more women's achievements in India.
