International Women's Day 2020
8 March 2020
To celebrate International Women’s Day, We Are The City asked women from all backgrounds, ethnicity and ages to tell us what exactly the day means to them:
“I yearn for the day when we do not have the necessity for International Women’s Day. I also encourage us not to refer to empowering woman. It implies an inequality. We don’t need to be empowered. Workplaces should offer an environment that is unquestioningly inclusive, giving every person a voice irrespective of seniority, gender or sexual origination where we encourage each other to be ourselves and individually and collectively to aim high.”
