This marks the ninth consecutive year of the initiative where exchanges and CCPs globally ring opening or closing bells to celebrate International Women’s Day 2023 (Wednesday 8 March 2023), promote gender equality, highlight the benefits of a diverse and inclusive workplace, and recognize the contribution of women in building a better future for all. This year, the theme for International Women’s Day is #EmbraceEquity.
