Empowering Women: Honoring Their History and Celebrating Their Contributions

March is International Women's History Month when we honor and recognize the contributions, achievements, and struggles women have endured over the years and many continue to struggle today.

The theme for this year is “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.”

The theme celebrates and honors women who understand this concept. As we continue the fight and struggle for a more positive future, we need to wipe out bias and discrimination entirely from our lives and our society.

Women's History Month serves to:

Highlight Women’s Contributions - The contributions that women have made in various fields such as science, politics, literature, arts, and science, politics, literature, arts, and their role in shaping societies are significant yet often overlooked.

Raise Awareness and Educate - Learn about influential women and those who have contributed to the fight for gender equality. Highlighting the progress that has been made while spotlighting the continued challenges such as wage gaps, underrepresentation in leadership roles, and gender-based violence.

Women as Role Models - Allowing young girls to learn about the achievements of women serves as a source of inspiration particularly those who have broken barriers and challenged societal norms. It encourages future generations to dream big and work towards achieving their full potential regardless of gender.

Promoting Solidarity and Advocacy - Celebrating solidarity among women around the world and encouraging all people to support women's rights, advocate for policy changes, and contribute to creating a more equitable world for everyone.

As we celebrate this International Women's History Month, I encourage you to learn as much as you can about the achievements of women around the world and the continued struggles and challenges we still face including gender equality, healthcare research, corporate representation, and the pay gap.

Find ways to get involved and pay it forward for the next generation.
