    2018 marks Marie Claire's 30th birthday, and this year we’ll be bringing you an exciting raft ideas, articles, campaigns and events from the most amazing and impressive women in the world

    From marching to #MeToo, 2017 was the year that women said enough was enough.

    Here at Marie Claire, we're declaring 2018 to be the year of WomanKind, in which we’ll be celebrating the collective power of women to create, to inspire, to challenge and to change the world.

    This initiative marks our 30th birthday, and we'll be bringing you a year of ideas, articles, campaigns and events from the most amazing and impressive women in the world. 

    WomanKind

    At the heart of WomanKind is caring: caring about each other and the world we live in.
