On this International Women’s Day, let's come together to #InspireInclusion for women and girls worldwide. The theme for this year, 'Inspire Inclusion', highlights the significance of diversity and empowerment across all sectors of society. The United Nations has designated the year 2024's theme as 'Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress', with a focus on addressing economic disempowerment. As we celebrate today, I acknowledge the progress that women have made, but there is still so much that needs to be done. I am thankful that more women are present at tables where there once were none, and women are progressing by leaning on themselves and others to accelerate our collective progress. Women everywhere have made outstanding and meaningful contributions that continue to provide the compelling evidence required to bring about the needed change. ..."When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world, and when women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment.".. While some may label me a feminist, I have discovered the existence of the word “WOMANIST,” coined by African American author Alice Walker in 1979. ...A womanist is committed to the survival of both males and females and desires a world where men and women can coexist while maintaining their cultural distinctiveness...  To imagine that a word which just jumped at me from my thoughts has existed for a while, echos the writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, :  “plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose” — the more things change, the more they stay the same. Let's push/pull for women everywhere to be valued and recognized for their worth. Happy International Women's Day 2024! #iwd2024 #InspireInclusion

Happy International Woman`s Day! Today, we honor the legacy of empowerment and innovation that women have contributed to across all fields, especially in science and technology. The story of the DNA double helix discovery serves as a powerful example of female ingenuity, often overshadowed yet indispensable. While the names Watson and Crick are widely recognized for their role in deciphering the structure of DNA, it's crucial to also celebrate Rosalind Franklin, whose pioneering work and X-ray diffraction images of DNA were central to this monumental discovery. Franklin's contributions remind us of the countless women who have paved the way for progress, equality, and empowerment, often without the recognition they deserve. As we navigate the complexities of the professional world, it's essential to create a culture that recognizes and celebrates the achievements of women across all sectors. Female empowerment is about ensuring that everyone, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to succeed and be acknowledged for their contributions. #IWD2024

International Women’s Day is a celebration of the women in our lives. The inaugural event took place in 1910 in New York City, and over one hundred and ten years later, March 8th has become recognized worldwide as a day to see and celebrate all women. As a society, we have progressed so much over the course of this century, but there is still work to be done. By working together, finding strength in our differences, and putting aside our divisions, we can create a powerful tool in the fight for freedom and equality for all. Our relationships with each other help build understanding, compassion, empathy, and care. These are the skills we need to build a more equitable future for ourselves and others, which we can cultivate by taking the time to appreciate all of the amazing women in our lives. International Women’s Day is an opportunity to not only recognize the work that has been done but also to inspire future change. Today, take the time to notice the women around you: those you already love and support as well as those on the periphery. See the work that we all do every day for one another, and let those relationships be a force for diversity, equality, and inclusion worldwide. Happy International Women’s Day! #inspireinclusion #IWD2024 #internationalwomensday

Here we are again, International Women's Day, 2024 edition. It has been 114 years since 1910 when the idea of International Women's Day was first tabled. Since then, we have witnessed great change and a significant increase in allyship and advocacy towards equality and enhancing women's rights. Thankfully. But are we fully there yet? No, is the short answer to that question. Many fights are left to be fought, and with that comes responsibilities for societies, governments, businesses, institutions, media and individuals. Change happens more rapidly with collective efforts, but remember; little drops of water make a mighty ocean. All of us can make a valuable contribution through our individual efforts. This year's IWD theme is Inspire Inclusion. Here are some of my tips on how we as individuals can show up as allies and inspire inclusion: 🧠Gain understanding: Be curious, strive to always broaden your perspective, and educate yourself on the different challenges women face in today's societies. 🗣️Take responsibility: Dare to speak up when witnessing microaggressions or discriminatory behavior; silence speaks volumes. ❤️Be an ally: Advocate for, encourage, and celebrate equality, women’s rights, and the representation of women across all levels of society. Women’s rights are human rights. Together, we can make a difference. #IWD2024 #internationalwomensday #inspireinclusion
