On 8 March, UNITAR launched a social media campaign #TakeAStep dedicated to the amplification of women's voices and their achievements, as well as sharing tools which women can use to empower themselves. UNITAR wants to acknowledge those ordinary actions and small stepping stones that lead women to greatness – however they choose to define it. To help translate awareness into action, as a capacity-building arm of the United Nations, UNITAR offers concrete tools which can help along the way in the journey towards achieving gender equality.
