International Women's Day

Wednesday, March 8th is International Women’s Day (IWD). IWD is a global day of celebration to acknowledge the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The global campaign theme for 2023 is #Embrace Equity.

“The IWD campaign aims to encourage important conversations on Why equal opportunities aren't enough and Why equal isn't always fair. People start from different places, so true inclusion and belonging require equitable action.

We can all challenge gender stereotypes, call out discrimination, draw attention to bias, and seek out inclusion. Collective activism is what drives change. From grassroots action to wide-scale momentum, we can all embrace equity. 

And to truly embrace equity, means to deeply believe, value, and seek out difference as a necessary and positive element of life. To embrace equity means to understand the journey required to achieve women's equality.”
