‘To #EmbraceEquity means believing we don’t all start from the same place so treating everyone the same isn’t fair’
~ Women’s Day
International Women’s Day celebrates women’s achievements, and looks to create a gender-equal world.
This year’s focus is #EmbraceEquity – for everyone to reach the same outcome, people need different resources and opportunities depending on their situation.
Women’s groups are a great example of equity: they can provide women with a safe space, community, and the chance to support each other. They can also be joyful spaces and a key way to help other women thrive!
