International Women’s Day (IWD) falls on 8 March every year. This year’s campaign theme encourages us to #ChooseToChallenge and help forge a gender equal world. Start by challenging your own thoughts and mindsets. From challenge comes change, so this IWD 2021, please join us in raising awareness against gender bias while celebrating the achievements of women everywhere.

And don’t forget to spoil yourself and your gurls silly while you’re at it! Because even superwomen are human too and we all need a (coffee) break from time to time. Read on to find out how you can win a Pitti Next Capsule Coffee Machine and more!
