Save the Date: International Women's Day
March is both Women's History Month and Gender Equality Month. It is a time to come together and celebrate the accomplishments of women. It is also a time to reflect on the progress we've made and the strides that we continue to make towards equality at home, in the workplace, and in our communities.
March 8 provides us with a day for everyone to come together and celebrate women's achievements - International Women's Day.

IWD 2022 Campaign Theme: #BreakTheBias
Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day.
- We can break the bias in our communities.
- We can break the bias in our workplaces.
- We can break the bias in our schools, colleges, and universities.
Together, we can all break the bias - on International Women's Day (IWD) and beyond.
