International Women's Day

Discover how we are celebrating this year's International Women's Day at the Management School

International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

Taking place annually on 8 March, IWD is one of the most important days of the year to celebrate women's achievements, educate and raise awareness for women's equality, call for positive change advancing women and more.

This year's global IWD campaign theme, #InspireInclusion, encourages all to reflect on how we can collectively create a gender equal world, free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination, where difference is valued and celebrated. 

Here at the Management School we are celebrating IWD by finding ways to inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, to help forge a strong sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment.
