Happy International Women\u2019s Day, Aerie<\/a> fam! Today, we\u2019re celebrating the work and accomplishments of our 2021 #AerieREAL Changemakers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s IWD theme is #BreakTheBias. It asks us all to imagine a world with true gender equality, where everyone is included, differences are celebrated and discrimination is non-existent. As women making change in their communities, our #AerieREAL Changemakers<\/a> help #BreakTheBias by striving for a better, more just world and by being strong, inspiring women in their own right! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we\u2019re investing a total of $20K in our #AerieREAL Changemakers<\/a> to support their projects. We asked a few Changemakers whose work supports women and girls to share their thoughts on how to to support and elevate women, how they celebrate the women in their communities and what empowers them as women in their workspaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am celebrating women in my community by saying thank you and acknowledging their hard work more. Women carry a lot of responsibilities on our backs and far too often, we still feel guilty about not doing enough. I want to make a conscientious effort to thank women for what they are doing more, to thank them for the sacrifices they make, how hard they work, and to celebrate how amazing they really are. Taking a moment to acknowledge those things verbally goes a long way, so I want to make an effort to say thank you more!”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
