Female street artists worldwide made works based on three categories: #EachforEqual, Happy International Women’s Day, and Women’s Equality. Go see their powerful submissions. IWD also holds a photography competition and typography competition (winners have now been announced). Seeking a woman typographer for a project?

Then you have to fail again, and then get even better.” ~Lady Gaga “Everyone looks to an artist for something more than just the music, and that message of being comfortable in my own skin is number one for me.” ~Lizzo “We only have one rule and that is there are no rules, so stand up and sing as much as you want to.” ~Natalie Maines (The Chicks) “Women are not always taken as seriously as we should be, so sometimes we have to put our foot down.” ~Missy Elliott “Each individual is as individual as their fingerprints, and I think that’s extraordinary.” …
