SheDecides Day 2020 is on 2 March! 

Excitement is building all over the world and the most amazing plans are falling into place. Friends of SheDecides have already begun to share some of the exciting activities and events that they have planned – and now you can too. 

What is SheDecides Day 

SheDecides Day takes place annually on 2 March. This is the date the global movement became a reality at the first big pledging conference in 2017.   

SheDecides Day is a day of action, when a huge variety of activities take place all over the world. It is an opportunity to demonstrate individual and collective commitment to the rights of all women and girls to have control over their bodies, their lives and their future. Without question.  

Creating a #NewNormal  

The theme for SheDecides Day 2020 is #NewNormal.   

The #NewNormal is a world where SheDecides whether, when and with whom, to have sex, to fall in love, to marry, to have children. Where she is free from violence, from pressure, from harm, judgement or fear.

What does a #NewNormal mean to you? What would it look like? What do we need to do to create a #NewNormal? We want to hear your views and voices this SheDecides Day.    

Stand Up and Speak Out 

Time to Stand Up and Speak Out. No matter how big or small, SheDecides Friends and allies will be standing together with her so she can make the decisions only she should make.

This could include hosting an Open Mic exploring what a #NewNomal means to your community, writing to your Member of Parliament, asking your friends to sign the SheDecides Manifesto, hosting an event or posting on social media on SheDecides Day by tagging #SheDecidesDay.
