Women's Equality Day, is August 26th! It's a pivotal occasion to reflect on the progress made in the fight for gender equality, to renew our commitment to achieving true equity for all women, and commemorate the certification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920, granting women the right to vote and marking a significant milestone in the journey toward gender equality. Despite the strides we’ve made as women and the pathways we’ve paved for our girls, we still have LOTS of work do to. Let this be your reminder of the relentless struggle of countless women who fought and are still fighting for their right to participate in making important contributions to our world and shaping our democracy. Let’s approach this voting season like we are just getting started. Let’s ensure that all candidates remember that women and girls matter, our contributions to this world helped shape it. Our fingers worked hearts, homes, and industries, and we will continue to fight for everything that’s due to us.  The fight for #payequity, #representation #healthequity #safety #justice continues. It's just starting over! #supportwomen #championequalpay #engageinactivism #celebratewomen #vote #WomensEqualityDay #GenderEquality #EqualRights #EmpowerWomen #WomenInLeadership #PayEquity #StandTogether

Did you know? When men actively participate in gender-inclusion programs, there's a dramatic shift – 96% of women in these organisations see real progress in gender equality, compared to only 30% in companies with less male engagement. Gender equality isn't a women's issue; It is a shared mission, needing everyone's participation. It's about rewriting outdated narratives and challenging the status quo to build workplaces where equality isn't just an aspiration but a reality. 🔥 Wondering how you can contribute? Join a pivotal discussion with David Smith & Brad Johnson, authors of "Good Guys." Their insights offer a practical roadmap for men to start being key allies in promoting workplace equality. 📅 Feb 7th at University College Cork 🚨 Book your spot by Jan 31st: https://lnkd.in/eqbEGmRx Join us, be a part of the change. #NetworkIreland #NetworkCork #BackedbyAIB

This Friday March 8th is: "International Women's Day!" International Women's Day is a global celebration honoring the achievements of women in all walks of life. It serves as a powerful reminder of the progress made towards gender equality and the ongoing journey to empower women worldwide. Meet Sandra Zaragoza, Clinic Administrative Supervisor, Omak: Question: This year’s theme for International Women’s Day is “Inspire Inclusion.” How would you define inclusion and how do you advocate for it on a daily basis? “It's not leaving anyone out. It's including everyone. It's no matter if you're rich or poor, you're white or black. It doesn't matter if you have an accent. If you come from a different country, what religion you believe in. It doesn't matter. Include everyone. Don't leave anybody out.” This day inspires solidarity, advocacy, and action, as we collectively strive towards a future where every woman has the opportunity to thrive, succeed, and make her voice heard. #internationalwomensday #healthcare #leaders #community #inspireinclusion #bettertogether #weareconfluence #choosetochallenge #amplifywomen

Sometimes, men don’t know what to do to be allies to women in the workplace – but if we show them HOW – it makes a huge difference. Here is something men can do to be allies to women in the workplace: Recognize and Leverage Your Influence First and foremost, acknowledge the platform you have. Men, particularly those in positions of authority, wield significant influence. It's vital to use this influence to advocate for policies and practices that promote gender equality. This means not just opening doors for women into leadership roles but also ensuring those doors stay wide open for others to follow. Want to learn more?

As we celebrate International Women's Day, let us reflect on the invaluable contributions of women worldwide and reaffirm our commitment to gender equality. Today is a reminder of the progress we've made, but also a call to action for the work that still lies ahead. It's a day to honor the resilience, strength, and achievements of women in all facets of life – from the boardroom to the classroom, from the frontlines of healthcare to the forefront of social justice movements. It's a day to recognize the barriers that women continue to face and to advocate for a world where every woman and girl can thrive without limitations or discrimination. As we strive for a more inclusive and equitable society, let us use this day to amplify women's voices, support women-owned businesses, mentor the next generation of leaders, and champion policies that promote gender equality. Together, we can create a future where every woman has the opportunity to reach her full potential and where diversity is celebrated as our greatest strength. #InternationalWomensDay #GenderEquality #EmpowerWomen

This book is important and should be at the top of everyone’s reading list. It starts off with recognizing that ‘shit’s not working’, but the ‘road to change exists’. It outlines the important steps needed to lead in the way the world needs right now - for our sake and for the sake of our kids. It’s like sharing a bottle of wine with Belinda Clemmensen, and the wine is fueling a genius and purposeful plan for tomorrow!!! Highly recommended! #Whenwomenlead #womensavingtheworld #womeninleadership #goodreads
