March 8: International Women's Day 2020
March 8 is International Women’s Day. The theme for International Women’s Day 2020 is Each for Equal.
The message of Each for Equal is the difference each person’s efforts can make to a collective. In the battle for equal pay, equal recognition, equal rights and justice, each individual’s small changes can – when combined with the efforts of others – have an enormous impact on the world.
Each conversation we have about women’s experiences in the workplace, or in the home, or in society at large, is another small battle in the bigger war against inequality.
The success of the JLP’s new workshop, Preventing Harassment and Violence in the Workplace, launched in July 2019, highlights the need to create discussions around respectful, healthy workplaces in the federal public service. The JLP is proud to be making space for the difficult conversations.
