Vancouver Women in Technology (VanWIT)’s Post

It is critical to recognize and celebrate the strides and achievements of women, today and every day. We must also acknowledge that much work remains. Women face higher levels of deep poverty than men, and this economic gap perpetuates cycles of violence, housing instability, and food insecurity. Contributing factors include lower earnings, limited savings, increased involvement in the informal economy, reduced access to social protections, the burden of unpaid care and domestic work, and the majority representation in single-parent households. We can do better, and working together, we will.

🌟International Women's Day on March 8th!🌟 Today, we celebrate worldwide the achievements, contributions, and leadership of women in all aspects of life. It's a day to show solidarity, reflect on progress, and strive for gender equality in all sectors and at all levels. Let's use this day to recognize, appreciate, and support the amazing women around us💐. Let's aim for a world where women and girls are free to achieve their full potential without any barriers. As we commemorate International Women's Day, we must continue to advocate for inclusivity, equality, and empowerment💫. Let's collaborate to overcome the obstacles that women still face, both in the workplace and beyond, and work towards a future where equality is not just a dream but a reality for everyone 🙏🏻. #InternationalWomensDay #GenderEquality #Empowerment #Inclusivity #Solidarity #InspireInclusion

On this International Women's Day, let's take a moment to appreciate the progress made towards gender equality. Indra Nooyi, former CEO of PepsiCo, reminds us that creating more equal opportunities for women is achievable. In her 2022 article, she states that helping women become more equal in society and making life easier for working families are important goals. However, there is still work to be done. Let's come together to support and uplift women everywhere. Happy International Women's Day! #iwd2024

How is your business celebrating IWD this year? International Women's Day is a time to celebrate the achievements of women worldwide while also recognising the ongoing struggle for gender equality. Each year, this day serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of inclusivity and diversity in all aspects of society. In 2024, the theme "Inspiring Inclusion" emphasises the need to create spaces where women from all backgrounds feel welcomed, valued, and empowered.

Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated.   Today is International Women’s Day 2024, a day that is acknowledged both here at MACE and across the globe to recognise and honour the achievements, challenges and contributions of women. This year’s theme is #InspireInclusion.   #InspireInclusion reminds us that the journey to gender equality must include a commitment to equity for all women. By fostering a sense of belonging, we empower women to be catalysts for change, illuminating the path towards a more inclusive world.   Alone we can’t make a difference, however, collectively we can all #InspireInclusion. #iwd2024
