TikTokFrom creators like @shelbykinsxo educating us on life as a disabled person and Grace Victory, aka @thefamilyhooduk, teaching us body neutrality, women are turning to TikTok to share their stories, express themselves and connect with a supportive community. In doing so, they're helping other women discover new ways to learn and be inspired.
This International Women's Day, we are celebrating the amazing Women Who Will continue to make a positive impact on the global TikTok community and beyond through their creativity, passion, and advocacy.
#EmbraceEquity with women changemakers and allies
International Women's Day is an important moment to recognise women's achievements and celebrate women all over the world who forge change. This year's International Women's Day theme is #EmbraceEquity, calling for everyone to actively support and embrace equity by challenging gender stereotypes and discrimination.
The #WomenofTikTok community, which has garnered over 3 billion views globally, brings together a diverse group of women changemakers, pioneers, leaders and allies who are using their voices to break barriers, gender stereotypes and advance women's equity every day. From popular hashtags such as #WomeninSTEM (over 3 billion views) and #WomeninSports (over 1 billion views), to female entrepreneurs and small business owners who use TikTok to start and grow a business, to women activists dedicated to enhancing women empowerment and gender equality, #WomenofTikTok are supporting and connecting with one another.
There's a whole range of women inspiring and leading within their communities, from female-founded small businesses like jewellery brand @raniandco who encourage women to feel powerful, to activists like @hadealspeaks speaking out against inequality and injustice. Whether it's podcaster @madamejoyce keeping us entertained, or experts such as @womens_aid taking to TikTok to unpack toxic relationships, women on TikTok continue creating important, creative content that our community can't get enough of.
Elevating voices of our diverse women community
As a platform that celebrates creativity and inspires joy, TikTok has unlocked boundless opportunities for women of all walks of life and made it possible for female creators to thrive and grow. Join us throughout this month as we unveil exciting content, programming and events featuring popular creators, beloved artists and celebrities who are inspiring powerhouse women.
🎉 International Women's Day we are proud to partner with the UK's leading female-identifying media outlet, gal-dem. Together with a group of inspiring creators, we will co-create an exciting month of fresh content to celebrate women as well as working with gal-dem on a series of exclusive community workshops and events. We can't wait to see the gal-dem and TikTok creative community come together.
📱Check out the TikTok Unpacks content from @_cheerupluv and @beeillustrates, where they will discuss their work celebrating interdisciplinary art by women and people of marginalised genders. These videos will be housed alongside the rest of our IWD content on our dedicated International Women's Day Hub here.
🕹️Throughout the month of March, we are also putting the spotlight on remarkable women and their talents in the gaming industry by launching #WomeninGaming to celebrate and highlight the women who are helping to evolve the gaming industry through their innovation, passion, and advocacy.
🎶 Finally, we are partnering with women artists from around the world to celebrate #WomeninMusic. Alongside a guest playlist from @RitaOra, we are also spotlighting some of the brilliant SoundOn artists that have created waves on and off the platform in the last few months.
Fostering a safe space for ALL women to create and share their stories
As a platform that inspires creativity and brings joy, we continue to foster a safe space where women from all backgrounds can thrive, including those who have been under represented or under recognised, by bringing their stories to the forefront. We recognise this is an ongoing journey, and we're committed to breaking down barriers and providing tools to support women on and off the platform with partners and communities around the world.
As part of this ongoing commitment, we are delighted to launch our partnership with The Circle (@thecirclengo), a global feminist non-profit organisation co-founded by singer, songwriter and activist, Annie Lennox. Our partnership will focus on supporting grassroots women-led organisations in Africa, Asia and Europe that provide support to economically empower women and girls who have experienced gender-based violence.
At TikTok, our community is at the heart of everything we do. Join us this International Women's Day and beyond as we celebrate and elevate the stories and voices of the strong, remarkable and creative #WomenofTikTok.
