The 8th of March 2023 is the day for celebrating International Women’s Day across the World

International Women's Day 2023 campaign theme is #EmbraceEquity
For International Women's Day and beyond, let's all fully #EmbraceEquity.
Equity isn't just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have.
A focus on gender equity needs to be part of every society's DNA.
And it's critical to understand the difference between equity and equality.
The aim of the IWD 2023 #EmbraceEquity campaign theme is to get the world talking about Why equal opportunities aren't enough. People start from different places, so true inclusion and belonging require equitable action. Read more about this here
International Women's Day is also an opportunity for us to remind you of the services within The Waiting Room that are there to support women.
Some of the fantastic services that support women in Birmingham and Solihull include:
