“No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of the contributions of half of its citizens.” -Michelle Obama With well over a century of history and change, the first #InternationalWomensDay (IWD) was held in March 1911. IWD isn't country, group or organization specific. It's a day of collective global activism and celebration that belongs to all those committed to forging women's equality. When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world. In honor of International Women's Day this past week, there are many ways to ensure the needs, interests and aspirations of women and girls are valued and included. Organizations and groups can #InspireInclusion through action in areas such as: • Recruiting, retaining and developing female talent • Supporting women and girls into #leadership, decision-making, business and STEM • Providing women and girls with access to quality education and training • Elevating women and girl's participation and achievement in sport Check out a great TED Talk below on how we all can support girls, early in life, to be more confident and courageous! Give it a watch and pass it on to your colleagues and friends raising young women. https://lnkd.in/g-ffb6p7 #iwd2024
