Meet the inspiring women creators on TikTok

Women play an integral role in our lives. They take up challenging roles and are pillars of strength for many. With their inspiring spirit, they also become our motivational drivers, counsellors, dependable figures and so much more than they get credit for. 

TikTok, the world’s leading destination for short format videos, acknowledges the inspiring women who are changing the face of society with their work and passion. In line with this, on International Women’s Day, TikTok launched its campaign #WhyJustADay to celebrate and honour the woman spirit every day. The in-app campaign’s aim was to spark a conversation about positivity and inspiration, inviting users to share their personal stories. In addition to this, Breakthrough India, a women’s rights organization that champions the cause of gender equality joined TikTok to amplify the message through powerful and engaging videos.
