Like every year, ICOM is committed to the fight to promote equality and #ChooseToChallenge. And theme of International Women’s Day is a call to action for all of us: « From challenge comes change, so let’s all choose to challenge. »
« Indeed, I would venture to guess that Anom, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman. »
― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own
This is why today, even more than in previous years, we are highlighting all the hands raised in museums, whether anonymous or not. Follow here live the Twitter and Instagram threads via #WomenInMuseums

IWD READS : MUSEUM INTERNATIONAL “MUSEUMS AND GENDER”
Guest edited by Ashley E. Remer, this edition looks at gender issues in museums, how they are intertwined, and the role of museums in a world prioritising gender equality. This issue focuses on gender representation within museum management, operations and trusteeship, and in collections, exhibitions, education and public programmes.
#WOMENINMUSEUMS
Since 2017, ICOM has been promoting the role of women in museums during International Women’s Day through the hashtag #WomenInMuseums, which has become a hub in social media platforms to share and celebrate the work of female museum professionals, women artists and women in history. With this campaign, we aim at highlighting the many ways in which women shape museums, from shifting narratives to fighting for inclusion.
