With Yanie and Gina as our strong female leads, and a head office team of (mainly) women, it feels fitting to share something today empowering the females around us (cis, transgender, or other femme-affirming identities). The theme for #IWD22 this year is #BreakTheBias.
You can read more about the theme and what you can do on the IWD website: https://www.internationalwomensday.com/Theme
But in summary, they write...
-- Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination.
A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
A world where difference is valued and celebrated...
Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day.
We can break the bias in our communities...workplaces...and in our schools, colleges and universities...
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...
Together, we can all break the bias - on International Women's Day (IWD) and beyond.
Cross your arms to show solidarity.
Strike the IWD 2022 pose and share your #BreakTheBias image, video, resources, presentation or articles on social media using #IWD2022 #BreakTheBias to encourage further people to commit to helping forge an inclusive world.

It would be great if you could send us a picture of yourselves, either solo or with friends or family.
If you give permission, we would love to share these images on our socials to highlight all of the wonderful people in our AmeCare community!
You can take part in this regardless of gender :)
