IWD is not a day that empowers me, rather reminds me of how little we have progressed. The theme for 2023 is #embraceequity. I see equity not as something we need to embrace as a nice to have, but as a fundamental human right.
We shouldn’t have to fight for equity, or justify it, it should be a given. Equity is about the financial, emotional, and physical safety of women. Equity is over 280 years away.
We need to accelerate far beyond equity and into full empowerment of women.
Because when we lead with diversity, everybody, every ecosystem and every form or life benefits.
As you head off to your IWD events today, eat an IWD cupcake or two, take some time to listen to my views and thoughts on this day and feel free to share back.
