On Wednesday we will celebrate International Women’s Day, an event observing the political, economic and cultural achievements of women all over the world.

The 2017 theme – marked globally by performances, talks and marches – is #BeBoldForChange. People are being encouraged to take groundbreaking action to help improve gender equality. It’s a particularly resonant topic with divisive politics pushing many to march for women’s rights this year.

We want to hear from readers about how you’ve fought inequality in your own life, and any personal battles you’ve won in terms of tackling sexism. It could be how you reacted to being harassed on the street, fought for equal pay at work or managed to break through the glass ceiling with a promotion. Tell us about your experiences, however big or small they may be.
