#IWD2020: Each For Equal

The theme of this year's International Women's Day - #EachForEqual - identifies the importance of the individual in the fight for a gender equal world. We are all parts of a whole. Our individual actions, conversations, behaviors, and mindsets can have an impact on our larger society. We can all choose to be #EachforEqual. How will you help forge a gender equal world?

At Oliver Wyman, we celebrate today a robust and growing mentorship initiative where women leaders - and male allies - at the firm are serving as role models and advisors, not only for professional development purposes but also as a way to promote gender equality at an individual level.

Below, women share their stories of giving and receiving inspiration and growth opportunities in our offices around the world. Click on each photo to learn how these women are driving gender parity at Oliver Wyman - and making a positive difference for all women in business:
