Why it's Important
International Women's Day (March 8th) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call for action accelerating women's equality.
We asked our team "Why is #IWD important to you" Here's what they said...
“I think it is so important not to whitewash history, because humans are built on yesterday’s mistakes and achievements. International Women’s Day is a poignant part of our collective history and future - it is so important to celebrate how far women have evolved but also continue to highlight the paths women are yet to conquer. In 2020 International Women’s Day we’re celebrating #EachForEqual to demolish the false belief that one gender has more worth than the other which in the past, and to this day, has shackled women’s possibilities - particularly in sectors like tech which is still perceived as a male sector. Equality encompasses the right to a good quality of life - to be secure, happy and healthy. Every person should be able to wake up and go to work knowing that their progression and wellbeing is not limited by a ceiling of out-dated gender roles. This is why we celebrate International Women’s Day, so that women can explore and define who they are as an individual and not as a man’s binary opposite.”
