Things may have improved, but we still have a long way to go, It is not that long ago that women were not allowed to open their own bank accounts or take on a job without their husbands permission. This ingrained prejudice is still present in people’s minds.

β€œFor me, #IWD means we – men and women – have an opportunity to pause and reflect on the amazing women in our lives. This includes the pioneers from the past who paved the way for the rights we now have, as well as today’s women who keep doing extraordinary things and who continue to inspire us.
