International Women’s Day on March 8 is set to recognize women’s achievements and empowerment in developed and developing countries over the course of the last century as they have progressed toward a more inclusive and equitable world.
But, according to local leaders, the inclusion of women in all aspects of life is an everyday conversation and action to continue overcoming systemic barriers.
The Daily Independent asked influential women leaders across the Valley what they would like to see celebrated on International Women’s Day and received a diverse array of responses from women in varying industries.
