International Women's Day 2021

International Women's Day celebrates the achievements of women and marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Despite huge changes and efforts made to improve gender equality in academia in recent decades, women are still underrepresented and many feel undervalued and looked down on. According to the World Economic Forum, sadly none of us will see gender parity in our lifetimes, and nor likely will many of our children. Gender parity will not be attained for almost a century¹. 

A lot more work still needs to be done but we would like to celebrate the progress made so far and showcase the achievements of women in science in our School.
