The theme for International Women’s Day 2024 is ‘inspire inclusivity’. Gender equity has historically been considered as a ‘women’s issue’, as women are the primary driver behind gender equality strategies and campaigns. However, we believe that forging gender equity shouldn’t be limited to women solely fighting for equity. Allies are incredibly important for the social, economic, cultural, and political advancement of women. As an inclusive network – open to all women and nonbinary people, we want to ensure that our message is as effective as possible and reaches the whole University. We want to build bridges through intersectionality by acknowledging the work we need to do to inspire inclusivity and diversity
