International Women’s Day is 8 March 2022. This year’s global theme, “Break the Bias,” reflects the idea that each of us are responsible for finding ways to eliminate bias in all aspects of our lives, including workplaces, communities, learning institutions, and beyond.
Our Women in the Profession Committee is harnessing the energy and spirit of International Women’s Day to raise awareness against bias and take action for equality.
