Today\u2019s March 8th – and you know what that means!<\/em><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc4f It\u2019s International Women\u2019s Day 2024<\/a> \ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc9c<\/p>\n

As we celebrate International Women’s Day for another year, it’s crucial to reflect on the strides we’ve made towards gender equality and the work still ahead.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme, #InspireInclusion<\/strong>, encourages us to foster environments where every voice is heard and valued, especially in the world of work.<\/p>\n

What is International Women’s Day?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global celebration of women’s social, economic, cultural, and political achievements<\/a>. The day is a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.<\/p>\n

It aims to raise awareness about gender equality and advocate for women’s rights.<\/p>\n

IWD has occurred for over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people.<\/p>\n

Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n

#InspireInclusion: A Look at This Year’s Theme<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Inclusion is the foundation of a thriving workplace<\/a>. It means creating environments where everyone feels respected, valued, and supported.<\/p>\n

To inspire inclusion in our schools, workplaces, and communities, you can take action by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Reading about inclusion, what it means, and why it matters in the different environments you work and study in.<\/li>\n
  2. Advocate for inclusive policies and practices by joining groups at school or in your local community.<\/li>\n
  3. Speaking up when you notice something that could exclude different groups – whether at school or work.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
