What is International Women’s Day?
It’s a global day held on 8th March every year to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. This year’s International Women’s Day theme was “Balance for Better” which is a call to action to accelerate gender balance.
We joined our friends at Union Bank to celebrate International Women’s Day this year.
The call for gender balance goes beyond just being a women’s issue, it’s a society issue. Gender balance is essential for economies and communities to thrive, as women contribute to their country’s economy both professionally and socially.
We know that a strong economy must place the health of its people as priority and women are at the forefront of that, either as healthcare providers, those taking care of the family and home, or those most affected by health issues. Ultimately, the better the gender balance is, the better (and healthier) the world will be!
