March was International Women’s Month, and International Women’s Day was celebrated on Saturday, March 8 this year. This year’s theme was ‘Accelerate Action’. This past month we asked women at Bousfields to share some thoughts on #IWD / #IWM and ways to #AccelerateAction. Be sure to swipe through to read what some of them shared! International Women’s Day is a globally celebrated day to recognize the social, economical, cultural, and political achievements of women worldwide. Focusing on the need to Accelerate Action emphasizes the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. It calls for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face, both in personal and professional spheres. #internationalwomensday #internationalwomensmonth
