Twitch is home to an incredibly diverse set of creators and communities and this March, in honor of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day (March 8), we’re shining the spotlight on some of our favorite women streamers. You’re invited to join the celebration!

Featured Streamers

No matter what kind of stream you’re looking for, from competitive gaming to creative arts, our featured women streamers will be doing what they do best on the front page all month long. Tune in to your favorites, check out a stream for the first time, and definitely stop by on International Women’s Day (March 8) when we’ll be featuring women streamers on the front page all day long. Here’s a full schedule of who we’re featuring and when:

Support 1000 Dreams Fund

For the second year in a row, we’re partnering with 1000 Dreams Fund (1DF) to raise money for women to get involved in STEM and broadcasting. Last year, the community raised $45,000 and helped support 60 women with 1DF’s Twitch BroadcastHER grant. This specific grant is available only to women who are currently a Twitch Affiliate or Partner. If you’d like to help support 1DF this year, you can join the fundraising efforts on Tiltify.

Twitch Rivals is also inviting some of the most talented women of CS:GO to compete for pride, glory, and to raise money for 1DF. And Twitch will match every dollar (up to $25,000) raised during the event, so stay tuned because more details like who is competing and when will be announced soon.

If you have any questions regarding 1000 Dreams Fund or how to sign up to help, you can email charity@twitch.tv to get all your questions answered.

International Women’s Day Guest Speakers

On March 8th, join us for a special edition of Twitch Weekly followed by a special one hour panel hosted by our very own Anna Prosser and featuring Katrina Jones, Twitch’s Head of Diversity & Inclusion and other prominent women in tech and gaming.
