HOW TO GET INVOLVED:

At the core of March Forward is a powerful visual statement: walking backward, stopping, and then marching forward.

This action symbolizes the regression of gender equality worldwide and the urgent need to push ahead.

Inspired by past viral movements like #MeToo, this simple yet impactful act allows anyone to take part, amplifying awareness and solidarity through a universal language of movement.

March Forward invites individuals, public figures, organizations, and businesses to join the movement with the following actions: 

Take the March Forward Challenge – Walk backward (symbolizing regression in gender equality), stop, and then march forward to demonstrate commitment to progress.

Share your video – Post challenge video on social media, using the hashtags #MarchForward and #MoveForward.

Sign the pledge – Make a public commitment to gender equality and call on world leaders to act.

Amplify the message on social media – Post about why gender equality matters, share personal stories, and use campaign assets to spread awareness.

KEY VISUALS AND MEDIA MOMENTS:

Journalists and media outlets are invited to capture and amplify these moments, helping to drive global awareness and action.
