On May 10th, join thousands of organizations, companies, schools, museums, libraries and homes — anywhere people already gather — in a global conversation about what it will take to get to a more gender-balanced world in all sectors of society: business, politics, culture, home, and more. 50/50 Day is based on the model of our annual Character Day, which last year had over 93,000 events in 125 countries and all 50 states.
How 50/50 Day works:
On May 10, groups around the world will:
1. Screen the acclaimed 20 min film 50/50: Rethinking the Past, Present, and Future of Women + Power (watch and learn more).
2. Engage with free discussion materials that we provide, catered to all different ages and types of groups.
3. Tap into a 24 hour global livecast Q&A that unifies all the film screenings and features prominent leaders from diverse perspectives discussing how to get to a more gender-balanced world in all sectors of society: business, politics, culture, society, and home.
A sample one hour 50/50 Day event could look like:
– 5 min introduction
– 20 min film screening
– 20 min watch / ask questions to Global LiveCast Q&A of your choice
– 15 min discussion using discussion guides
Everything is free thanks to generous donations and grants. Visit our FAQ to learn more. Watch 50/50 the film, read press, and more here.
