International Women’s Day is 8 March 2024. This year’s global theme, “Inspire Inclusion,” reflects the idea that each of us are responsible for embracing fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all. Together, we can work collectively to make a positive impact for change and forge a fair and equal world 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.
