Many women around the world have delivered speeches that inspire us to take action, started initiatives that have solved problems, and motivated us to dream big. However, the work of these women has often sometimes been overlooked. International Women’s Day is a great time to start initiatives that will help change the narrative. Trivia questions are a great way to achieve this. In this post, we outline themes and topic ideas you can implement to create trivia questions that are exciting and educational as part of your International Women’s Day celebration.

Trivia questions on gender equality

Globally, women are disproportionately affected by difficult economic conditions, leadership crises, and health issues, among others. Creating trivia questions about gender equality is a way of highlighting these issues at work and giving every team member the opportunity to learn and discover ways of confronting issues. Questions about the first gender equality movements, women’s rights, and gender inequality should help you come up with lots of trivia ideas for your team.

Women empowerment trivia questions

Whether it’s asking for a raise, promotion, or applying for a new job, women can sometimes feel like they’re fighting an uphill battle, especially if it’s a male-dominated area. Use International Women’s Day trivia to empower all women to pursue their dreams by creating trivia questions that help women understand uplifting their self-worth, making and pursuing their own choices, standing up for their rights, and pursuing their dreams.

Female pioneers trivia questions

Women have been at the forefront of many innovations and changes in society, from human rights, politics, and leadership, to science, technology, and economic development. Include trivia questions about the women who have had an impact on society, either past or present, to enable teams to learn more about these female trailblazers.

Women's and girls’ education trivia questions

While there has been significant progress in educating girls and women globally, it has not always been the case that women have had access to education. International Women’s Day trivia questions should give your team an opportunity to highlight the female trailblazers changing this area while also learning more about women’s education. Some question ideas include the first woman to graduate from universities, the first woman to earn a PhD, and the first woman to become a professor.

Workplace and employment trivia

Women have contributed greatly to workplace advancements, while also facing challenges such as harassment and unequal pay. Use International Women’s Day trivia to highlight both their achievements as well as help educate teams on the workplace issues. You can also add trivia questions to understand how women feel working for your company and how you can make it better. 

These trivia questions will help us celebrate women, while also learning about their challenges and contributions to society.
