Tomorrow is #InternationalWomensDay and this year's theme is ‘Accelerate Action’. According to the World Economic Forum, it is currently estimated to take until 2158 to reach full gender parity. The theme ‘Accelerate Action’ therefore calls for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the barriers to gender equality. Earlier this week, we celebrated #IWD2025 across our offices. We watched a fantastic TEDTalk by journalist and author Mary Ann Sieghart on the "authority gap" — all the ways women are (still) taken less seriously than men, despite proven competence and expertise. This was followed by lots of lively discussion!
