Aspire celebrates International Women’s Day!
On 8th March it was International Women’s Day, which is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.
The theme for 2025 was #AccelerateAction which emphasised the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. The campaign called for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face, both in personal and professional spheres. One of the best ways to forge gender equality is to understand what works and to do more of this, faster. Significant barriers to gender equality remain, yet with the right action and support, positive progress can be made for women everywhere.
At Aspire, we participated in the International Women’s Day celebrations with our IWD Brunch!
