Call to action from different geographies
During March 2023, Euronext will organise over 30 actions, both internal and external, to actively voice a call to action for accelerating gender equality, within the present and future generations of female leaders.
Each of our marketplaces will also take part in "Ring the Bell for gender Equality" – a collaboration of stock exchanges around the world holding opening or closing bell ceremonies to celebrate International Women’s Day and promote the Women's Empowerment Principles.
Collective action and shared ownership for driving gender parity is what makes International Women's Day impactful.
