March 8th
International women's day is here , what's international women's day? It's a global holiday on the 8th of March to memorialize the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women and promote equal rights.
Let's start with the history, IWD was made a holiday on February 28th 1909. IWD became a mainstream global holiday following its adoption by the United Nations in 1977.
In some parts of the world, IWD still reflects its political origins, being marked by protests; in other areas, particularly in the West, it is largely sociocultural celebration of womanhood.
This years theme is ' break the bias ' , Individually we're all responsible for educating our selves and breaking our own bias's but this women's day we can educate someone within our communities, workplaces, schools, families. Even if it's only one person you helped to grow, that one person can be the change we need to go a step closer to breaking the biases .
While International Women's Day activity escalates for March 8, At Qlympus we maintain a deep and continuous focus on equity, diversity and inclusion all year round with our values to Keep our promise, Aim to excel, Present a united front, Value equality, diversity & Progression. Organizations worldwide are providing progressive policies, practices, benefits, and support mechanisms so women's careers can thrive.
