#IWD2021
https://www.internationalwomensday.com/
The 8th of March 2021 is international women’s day. A day that focuses on forging gender equality, celebrate women’s achievements, raise awareness against bias and take action for equality.
A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day.
We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.
From challenge comes change, so let’s all choose to challenge.
On this theme BASICS Scotland would like to take this opportunity, over the course of the week, to celebrate some of the women that make BASICS tick. We will introduce you to a number of women who work in different roles in and around BASICS Scotland.
