The month of March is all about women and diversity, with International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8 and Geneva’s Gender Equality Week from March 1 to 10. Their mission is to raise awareness and actively advocate for a more inclusive and gender equitable world.
#inspireinclusion is International Women’s Day’s 2024 theme. An invitation to integrate gender diversity into our actions and thinking, because we know that everything is in motion and that only vigilance can prevent the loss of certain gains while enabling social progress.
And what better way to inspire inclusion than through reading?
