How to get involved with International Women’s Day 2022
On Tuesday 8 March, hundreds of thousands of people around the world will be celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD), a day that has promoted equality and celebrated women for over a century. Each year, the United Nations chooses a theme; this year, it’s #BreakTheBias. From Australia and Austria, to Zambia and Zimbabwe, people will be telling the stories of how they overcame adversity, while also sharing images of the Break The Bias pose, which involves placing both arms across the body to form an ‘X’.
The IDW website states: “Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination.
“A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias. Celebrate women’s achievement. Raise awareness against bias. Take action for equality.”
