A branch in Lynwood, California, switched it up in "celebration of women everywhere."

麦当劳的多元化总监Wendy Lewis说：“为了给所有的女性庆祝妇女节，在我们品牌历史上，首次颠倒我们的经典标志“M”来标榜那些做出突出贡献的女性，尤其是在我们餐馆工作的女性。”

"From restaurant crew and management to our C-suite of senior leadership, women play invaluable roles at all levels and together with our independent franchise owners we're committed to their success."

“从普通企业雇员，到我们最高管理层，女性在各个层级都扮演着重要的角色，配合各店的特许经营业主，我们致力于帮助女性获得成功。”

International Women's Day celebrates the achievements of women, as well as acting as a catalyst for change when it comes to gender equality.
