International Women's Day 2022

Live

On 8 March people of all genders gathered around the world to #BreakTheBias. The message conveyed a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive, where difference is valued and celebrated. Higher education can help #breakthebias. Universities can shape the way both men and women behave and their attitudes to equality. We'd like to share some of the ideas, thoughts and stories from the day. Let us know @IAU_AIU if you have something to add. See you next year! Until then #TakeUpSpace and #BreakTheBias ! Share ≠ Endorsement
