This year for International Women’s Day we have spoken with some of our team members on their thoughts and how they plan to #InspireInclusion.
The aim of the IWD 2024 #InspireInclusion campaign theme is to inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, to forge a better world.
When women themselves are inspired to be included, there’s a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. Collectively, we want to forge a more inclusive world for women.

Why do you think it is important to celebrate International Women’s Day?
International Women’s Day is important because it celebrates different aspects of women while also advocating for gender equality. It is essential to recognise achievements for women as they are diverse and multifaceted. To celebrate the feminine energy is important for the planet, if the feminine is lost, nothing of beauty, nothing of tenderness and nothing of truly aesthetic value will survive.
