Scores of high-profile women celebrated International Womens Day on Sunday by sharing empowering and galvanizing messages spotlighting female achievement and the work that needs to be done to create a gender-equal world.
The theme of this years International Womens Day is #EachforEqual, drawing on the notion of collective individualism as a reminder that each persons actions, conversations and behaviors to challenge stereotypes and discrimination can contribute to real change when society commits as a whole.
Celebrities and notable figures including Michelle Obama , Ellen DeGeneres, Emma Watson, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Lady Gaga, and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton were among those to mark the occasion.
Here are some of the ways they chose to celebrate women, and the issues they chose to highlight this International Womens Day.
Michelle Obama
The former first lady called for people to work together to empower the next generation of women this International Womens Day, the goal behind the Obama Foundations Girls Opportunity Alliance program which seeks to invest in adolescent girls education. Her upcoming YouTube special will feature YouTube creators Liza Koshy, Prajakta Koli and Thembe Mahlaba as they visit Vietnam, Namibia and India to speak with young women battling adversity to pursue education.

Nancy Pelosi
The House speaker reminded readers that the ongoing fight for womens equality around the world was important today, and every day.
Every woman, everywhere, deserves the opportunity to reach her full potential, with respect and recognition in the workforce, security and dignity in society and a voice and a vote in government, she wrote in a linked statement.
Today, and every day, we commit ourselves to the ongoing fight for genuine equality for all of the worlds women and girls. #InternationalWomensDay https://t.co/XAAriMbLqN pic.twitter.com/xJWyLJCjEl

Sen. Kamala Harris
The California Democrat invoked her mothers words about trailblazing women, calling for recognition of the sacrifices made by women throughout history to continually move forward in the fight for equality and representation.
As my mother always used to say, you may be the first to do many things, but make sure you are not the last.
On #InternationalWomensDay, lets recognize the sacrifices of all the extraordinary women who came before us and continue their fight for equality and representation.
