International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

International Women’s Day is all about unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy and action. In support of this we spoke to some of our wonderful female employees about their experiences.
