The theme “BREAK THE BIAS” for the 2022 International Women’s Day underscores the fact that we are not yet at Eldorado in the quest for equal access to opportunities for men and women and all the advantages that result from the pursuit and implementation of the fundamental principles of equity, justice and fairness for everyone. Negative stereotypes and biases, both overt and unconscious against women are exhibited in various forms through overt discrimination and abuse as well as subtle innuendoes which together result in the narrowing of prospects for growth to the female folks. Yet WERISE.
We must not fail to acknowledge and to be inspired by the giant progress women have achieved in today’s world. We congratulate women who have risen to the pinnacle of their careers and the women who are still climbing regardless of the biases, including women who by choice, have chosen the path of home engineers and are making a success of it.
