IWD: Give to gain? Only if responsibility is shared

In this AdNews opinion piece, Juliette Stead, SVP, Head of JAPAC at Magnite, reflects on International Women’s Day 2026 and its theme, “Give to Gain.” The article argues that while giving time, support and advocacy can help accelerate women’s progress, responsibility cannot sit with women alone. Meaningful change requires organisations and leaders to move beyond one-day gestures and embed equity into workplace systems, leadership pathways and everyday decision-making.

“Meaningful progress depends on shared responsibility and moving beyond one-day gestures toward lasting change.”
— Juliette Stead, SVP, Head of JAPAC, Magnite
