Скачать или смотреть International Women's Day: What Women's ERGs Need to Stop Doing

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but…

last time i checked,

The World Economic Forum said gender parity is 123 years away.

So, by 2148 it will be sorted

I'm not surprised tbh because sometimes it feels like we're going backwards

I can barely watch the news these days for all the "some listeners may find this content distressing" - you don't say!

The official UN theme for International Women's Day 2026 is "Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls."

(step away from THAT other purple website - IYKYK)


So when March comes around and the IWD panels, cupcakes, and LinkedIn posts start rolling out, we have to ask: is any of it actually making a difference?

I'm sitting down with Mie Ostergaard to have an honest conversation about what IWD has become, why it feels like it's going backwards, and whether organisations are doing the real work or just performing it.

Mie is the Co-founder of IMPACT, a global culture consultancy, and the Founder of the Female Leadership events series. She's built a career spanning Sky Sports News (where she created the Tackling Racism series), Arsenal FC, Skyscanner, and the Royal College of Psychiatrists - always at the intersection of culture, communication, and inclusion.

If you're running a women's network, or work in DEI/HR this will leave you not only with food for thought but also practical actions
