\u00a0International Women\u2019s Day \u2013 8th<\/sup> March 2024<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Today\u00a0 is International Women’s Day – 8th March 2024<\/p>\n

International Women\u2019s Day (IWD) is celebrated on the 8th<\/sup> of March each year and forms part of Women\u2019s History Month. It has been running for over 100 years with the first International Women\u2019s Day being held in March 1911.<\/p>\n

The aim is to celebrate women\u2019s achievements, promote gender equality, diversity and inclusion, and raise awareness about discrimination.<\/p>\n

IWD is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It emphasises the progress which has already been made towards gender equality and shows what still has to be done to achieve these goals.<\/p>\n

Inspire Inclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This year\u2019s theme is Inspire Inclusion. Inspiring others to recognise and respect women\u2019s inclusion can help us to create a better world.<\/p>\n

Inspiring inclusion in women builds a community where women feel accepted, valued, and empowered.<\/p>\n

What Can You Do?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Everyone can participate in International Women\u2019s Day. This can be as organisations, groups and individuals, at work, at home and within the community.<\/p>\n

Anyone can be involved in celebrating International Women\u2019s Day through any activity which supports the progress of women and girls and will have a significant impact within their own environment.<\/p>\n

We must celebrate the achievements of all women, fully embracing their age, race, faith, ability, body image, and how they identify. In the global spectrum, women must be welcomed and recognised in all fields, ensuring that their needs, interests, aspirations and creative talents are highly regarded throughout industry, business, education, health, sport and leisure.<\/p>\n

For more than 100 years, International Women\u2019s Day has endeavoured to create positive change for women and girls everywhere. Let us all inspire inclusion by celebrating not only the achievements of women in our own lives – from mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and colleagues – to women all around the world.<\/p>\n

Strike the pose and inspire inclusion. Let\u2019s work together to support each other, celebrate our achievements and be all we can be!<\/p>\n
