This year, the theme for International Women's Day in Australia is "Embrace Equity". The theme encourages individuals to challenge gender bias and inequality and to take action towards creating a more inclusive world.
It highlights the need for women to be included in decision-making processes and the importance of recognising the value and contribution of women in various fields.
Embracing equity can take many forms, from calling out sexist comments and behaviours to advocating for policies that promote gender equality. It can also mean supporting women's advancement in various fields, from politics and business to science and technology.
Embracing equity can be uncomfortable and difficult, but it is essential if we want to create a world where women are valued and have equal opportunities to succeed. It requires us to step out of our comfort zones and confront our own biases and assumptions. It also requires us to be open to learning and listening to the experiences of women.
We are taking action as part of this International Women's Day's theme #EmbraceEquity by supporting local #femalefounded businesses and promoting them on our social media. We are also supporting Hope Aid Unite a local initiative raising much needed funds for the UNHCR efforts in Iran, Afghanistan and Ukraine. This organisation stands in solidarity with women across the globe. To donate to this incredible cause, click the link here.
