While each and every day is an opportunity to celebrate women, one day in particular gives us an extra chance to recognize the incredible achievements made by women across the globe, and the ongoing, tireless pursuit of worldwide gender equality. That day is International Women’s Day, which falls each year on March 8, at the onset of Women’s History Month.
IWD honors and uplifts the voices of women across a number of fields and disciplines, including medicine and health, technology, sports, and the arts. For each International Women’s Day, there is a set theme — for 2022, it is #BreakTheBias. “Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias,” the IWD website reads.
