Who is affected? What is the problem?

The removal of International Women’s Day from the Apple Calendar negatively impacts millions of people globally, particularly women who celebrate this day as an important cultural and societal event. By omitting this day, Apple diminishes its significance and undermines the global movement for gender equality.

What is the request or solution?

We urge Apple to restore International Women’s Day to the calendar across all regions, alongside other widely celebrated non-official holidays like Halloween and Valentine’s Day, which are also included in the calendar despite not being official holidays.

Why is it important to act now?

International Women’s Day is crucial in raising awareness about gender equality, celebrating women’s achievements, and addressing ongoing social and political issues women face. It’s important now more than ever to ensure the global visibility and acknowledgment of this day, which is vital for fostering a more equitable society. Taking action will send a powerful message about the value of equality.
