The theme for this years International Women’s Day was choose to challenge, because from challenge comes change. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements and to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We will continue to celebrate women’s achievements throughout the year but this week we celebrated the achievements of;
