International Women’s Day 2023—how Google, PepsiCo and other brands are celebrating
These campaigns are honoring and advocating for women from the coffee fields of Costa Rica to the protests in Iran.
The campaign calls on European Union countries to support the women and girls of Iran who are facing severe and violent repression. It also urges Sweden, as EU Council president, to pressure other EU countries to echo the following demands: Stop the repression of women and stop detaining women who are calling for basic rights and freedoms in Iran; end the physical and sexual violence against women detainees and protesters; and cease all executions of political prisoners and annul all death sentences against protesters.

Bose
Bose has launched a wide-ranging initiative to highlight and overcome a persistent gender gap in music—that less than 3% of popular songs over the past decade were produced by women. The initiative, called “Turn the Dial,” focuses on highlighting the deficit, addressing the barriers that are causing it, and securing more opportunities for women and non-binary music producers to create music on the production side.
