The year 2020 was a historical year for women in leadership. It gave us exemplary role models like Kamala Harris, Jacinda Adern, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Michelle Obama, and many others, who challenged the patriarchal norms of society and represented their share of voice. Continuing the movement, UN Women has announced the theme for International Women's Day, March 8, 2021, as - "Women in Leadership: Achieving an equal future in the COVID 19 world".
