International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the achievements of women, and serves as a call to action for accelerating women’s equality. The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day global campaign is #BreakTheBias.
This International Women’s Day we have gathered a range of FREE learning resources from leading academics, clinicians, and researchers to raise awareness.
We encourage you to explore the learning opportunities available on our website, and to share with your networks. Together we can work towards breaking the bias.
