This March is National Women’s History Month, which is an extension of the weeklong celebration highlighting women’s contributions to American history, culture, and society. However, before that we had International Women’s Day. International Women’s Day (a name proposed by Clara Zetkin) is a global holiday with a focus on the women’s rights movement.
This year, the campaign theme #Accelerate Action emphasizes the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality in all aspects of society, including the workplace. I’d encourage all of us to take time out to recognize strides the City has taken towards gender equality and acknowledge that there is still much work to be done.
