Celebrating Women's History Month is crucial as it honors the contributions and achievements of women throughout history, acknowledging their vital role in shaping society. This year's theme celebrates "Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion." It serves as a reminder of the progress made towards gender equality and highlights the ongoing struggle for women's rights. Elevating the status of women in our community is paramount. By empowering and supporting women, we foster a more equitable and inclusive society, where all individuals have the opportunity to thrive. Through advocacy, education, and community engagement, we all play a pivotal role in advancing the status of women, ensuring their voices are heard and their accomplishments celebrated.

As we celebrate International Women's Day, we inspire to understand and value inclusion as we forge a better world. We are inspired to be included to ensure relevance and belonging. How will you inspire inclusion? Let's work to forge a more inclusive world for women! Let's inspire inclusion together!
