Tuesday March 8, 2022 is International Women’s Day and this year's theme is “Break the Bias”. Whether deliberate or unconscious, bias makes it difficult for women to move ahead. Knowing that bias exists isn’t enough, action is needed to level the playing field.
Are you in? Will you actively call out gender bias, discrimination, and stereotyping each time you see it?
Cross your arms to show solidarity. Stop by the International Women’s Day display in the Michael Schwartz Library and take a selfie in your best “Strike the IWD 2022” pose and share your #BreakTheBias image, video, resources, presentation, or articles on social media using #IWD2022 #BreakTheBias to encourage people to commit to helping forge an inclusive world.
