Women’s Month is coming very soon. This year, we have organized an event – A Virtual RoundTable: Women’s Month 2022 to celebrate Women’s Month. It is a virtual roundtable discussion regarding why Women’s Day/Month celebration is important to us, what is missing and what else we need to see in women’s visibility projects. This panel follows the international theme of #breakthebias whereby we want to create awareness on ending bias, stereotypes and discrimination against all women. Several women with different races, occupations and backgrounds are invited to this event, to share their experiences and join in the discussion with you.
