 It's International Women's Day. How did we get here? In 1908, 15,000 women marched through New York City. In 1909, the first National Women's Day was in the US. In 1910, Clara Zetkin suggests International Women's Day. In 1911, International Women's Day happens in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. In 1913 to 1914, Russia has its first International Women's Day. In 1917, Russian women strike for bread and peas. In 1975, there's the first International Women's Day celebrated by the UN. In 1996, the UN announces its first themed International Women's Day. In 2011, International Women's Day marks its 100th anniversary. Now, in 2022, we have Break the Bias. The campaign theme for this year is Break the Bias. Now, whether deliberate or unconscious, Bias makes it difficult for women to move ahead. Knowing that Bias exists isn't enough. Action is needed to level the playing field. So, we know how it started, but where are we now? Equality can only be achieved if the diversity, difference and qualities of women are truly valued. Gender parity isn't good for women, it's good for societies. Contemporary societies know and understand the value of women. The energy and the credibility they give. Breaking gender bias isn't just women's responsibility. It falls on all of us. How will you break the bias? Break the bias. Break the bias. Break the bias. Break the bias. Break the bias. Break the bias.
