International Women's Day 

The Commonwealth 8.7 Network recognises the important work that its members do every day to realise gender equality and women's empowerment. Every International Women's Day, we take the opportunity to raise awareness of women trapped in contemporary forms of slavery across the Commonwealth and acknowledge the role that gender plays in this issue.

In celebration of International Women's Day 2022, the Commonwealth 8.7 Network launched a social media campaign to celebrate its members and highlight the incredible work they do to support gender equality and women's empowerment across the Commonwealth. The theme for 2022 was #BreakTheBias - a call to imagine a gender equal world, free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination.

The objectives of this campaign were to raise awareness of the plight of women and girls trapped in contemporary forms of slavery across the Commonwealth, to draw attention to social biases against victims and survivors, and to highlight the work of 8.7 Network members.
