For International Women’s Day 2021 Stafford Soroptimists wanted to look at women from our local area, women in leadership, women who have been making a difference and we want to celebrate them, because we need women leaders when times are tough. So look out for some of the local women whom we have chosen to highlight, read their stories and join us in celebrating the difference they have made in their professional area and much further afield.
The International Women’s Day campaign theme is #ChooseToChallenge, it’s all about gender equality.
A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day.
We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world. From challenge comes change, so let’s all choose to challenge.’
What a challenge the Covid-19 pandemic has been for us all, whether working from home, going out to work, studying, unemployed, volunteering, or retired, no one has entirely escaped the systemic changes it has brought to our lives, so how have these women faced each day?
Women inspiring action, transforming lives – We stand up for Women – Believe to Achieve!
