arch 8 is International Women's Day! On this globally recognized day, we collectively celebrate the achievements of women and remind ourselves of the work still to be done across the world, in the continuous push for equality - socially, culturally, economically and politically.
Did you know that International Women's Day has been celebrated for more than 100 years? We invite you to celebrate with Island Health today, and learn more about the important history behind this recognition date.
On this year's theme, from internationalwomensday.com:
"The campaign theme for International Women's Day 2024 is Inspire Inclusion.
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.
Collectively, let's forge a more inclusive world for women."
Happy International Women's Day!
