International Women's Day
Tuesday the 8th of March is International Women’s Day. An annual day to celebrate the achievements of women and to raise awareness about women’s equality worldwide. This year, the theme is #BreakTheBias.
The aim is to work towards a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. This means breaking the bias and fostering more inclusive environments within our communities, workplaces, and schools.
Even though a bias may be unconscious and not malicious at all, it can still be extremely damaging if it is not dealt with. Therefore, it is important that we take action by actively calling out microaggressions of gender bias and stereotyping every time we see it.
Use #BreakTheBias to show your support on social media and to see how South Essex Homes, and other people around the world, are pledging to call out discrimination.
