International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate the incredible achievements of women all around the world. It’s a day to honor the women who have broken barriers and overcome obstacles, to acknowledge their contributions to society, and to inspire future generations of girls to reach for their dreams. And what better way to celebrate this day than by looking at how Disney has celebrated women throughout the years?
Disney has a long history of creating strong and inspiring female characters. From Snow White and Cinderella to Moana and Elsa, Disney has always recognized the importance of showcasing female stories and perspectives. These characters have become cultural icons, inspiring generations of young girls to be brave, independent, and true to themselves.
But Disney’s commitment to celebrating women goes beyond just their characters. In recent years, Disney has taken significant steps to promote gender equality and highlight the achievements of real-life women. For example, in 2018 the company created a series of short films called “Dream Big, Princess” that tell the stories of inspiring women from all walks of life. These films highlight the achievements of women like Paralympic gold medalist Tatyana McFadden, activist Muzoon Almellehan, and chef Nini Nguyen, among others.
Disney has also used its platforms to raise awareness about important issues facing women. For example, the company has partnered with the United Nations on their #DreamBigPrincess campaign, which aims to empower girls and young women to make a positive impact on the world. Disney has also supported the Girl Up campaign, which works to advance gender equality and empower girls around the world.
In addition to its work promoting gender equality, Disney has also made a commitment to diversity and inclusion. The company has been working to ensure that its films and TV shows reflect the diversity of the world we live in, and that includes telling more female-driven stories. For example, the recent live-action remake of Mulan featured an all-female creative team, including director Niki Caro and screenwriters Amanda Silver and Lauren Hynek.
At Disney, we amplify underrepresented voices and untold stories and champion a multitude of perspectives, recognizing that we are all greater than a single story and we all deserve to feel seen, heard and understood.
Disney’s commitment to celebrating women and promoting gender equality is more important now than ever before. In a world where women still face significant barriers and inequalities, it’s crucial that we continue to raise our voices and fight for change. By showcasing female stories and perspectives, Disney is helping to create a world where girls and young women can see themselves represented, valued, and empowered.
So this International Women’s Day, let’s celebrate Disney’s commitment to promoting gender equality and empowering women. Let’s honor the incredible female characters that have inspired generations of young girls to be brave, independent, and true to themselves. And let’s continue to work together to create a world where every girl has the opportunity to dream big and achieve her goals.
