This year International Women’s Day falls on March 8th. The Campaign theme for 2022 is #BreakTheBias

@greengoddesstv says Thankfully during my lifetime, I have seen many changes in attitudes towards women and now a gender equal world does seem a possibility. At 83 years of age, I can now imagine that we are closer to a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. But we must all make a huge effort to ensure that our world is accepted as diverse, equitable, and inclusive, and is a world where the difference of sex is valued and celebrated.
Individually as modern thinking women, whatever our age, we’re responsible for our own thoughts and actions each day, all day and every day. But together we are strong, and we we can forge women's equality, and collectively we can #BreakTheBias. For young women choosing where to work is important and by choosing progressive companies many find that the barriers have already been broken down allowing talented women to move into leadership roles.
Whether it’s deliberate or unconscious, for women any form of bias makes it difficult to move ahead. But knowing bias exists isn’t enough; action is needed to level the playing field. One of the biggest changes I have observed over my years is the importance of women in the field of Engineering. Today talented women Engineers of any age or diversity are in huge demand, to shape the world in many fields, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical Engineering and more. I admire and congratulate them succeeding in what was traditionally a man’s world.
So it’s up to us women to be strong and to help break the bias that still exists in our communities, in our workplaces, in our schools, colleges and universities. For me and other mature people like me in our later years, we will hopefully be able to experience a break in previous bias which no longer surrounds us older folk, male and female, in hospitals and our retirement communities.
But on International Women's Day (IWD) and beyond we can all break the bias. Are you in?
