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 3 to 13. Their mission is to raise awareness and actively advocate for a more inclusive and gender equitable world.
What better way to inspire inclusion than through reading?
