International Women’s Day is an annual event that celebrates all the amazing things women have achieved. It is a way to show how women have and continue to influence the world. As well as celebrating brilliant women, it’s also used as a day to highlight and raise awareness about issues that women have faced in the past and still face today.
Historically, women have been denied the right to vote, to work, and lots of other things, too. Because of brilliant women who fought against these things, women now have a lot more say in the world around us. But there are still many issues that women continue to face and fight for today.
For International Women’s Day and beyond, let’s all fully #EmbraceEquity
Equity isn’t just a nice to have, it’s a must have.
The aim of IWD 2023 #EmbraceEquity campaign theme is to get the world talking about Why equal opportunities aren’t enough. People start from different places, so true inclusion and belonging require equitable action.
Here we celebrate some of our valuable and talented women.
