March 8 is International Women’s Day (IWD) worldwide. A day of action, since 1911, designed to accelerate equality and justice for women, while celebrating the many social, political, economic and cultural achievements of women.
On this occasion, in 2022, the UN Women IWD theme is Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow, calling for climate action for women and by women. On another note, the IWD organization theme for 2022 is #BreakTheBias, calling for women to Imagine:
A gender-equal world.A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination.A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.A world where difference is valued, and celebrated. [IWD 2022 ]
The IWD organization further invites all women to join the movement, to break the bias in communities, in workplaces, in schools, colleges and universities. Finally, the IWD organization suggests that women cross their arms in solidarity, striking the #BreakTheBias pose :
