Stand Up, Speak Out: Women in Leadership on Pink Shirt Day ???? Today, on Pink Shirt Day, we stand together against bullying, discrimination, and exclusion in all its forms. At Women in Leadership, we recognize that true leadership is built on kindness, inclusion, and the courage to uplift others—especially in workplaces, boardrooms, and communities where diverse voices must be heard. Leadership is more than a title; it’s about fostering environments where everyone feels safe, valued, and empowered to succeed. Bullying and workplace harassment disproportionately affect women, especially those in leadership and underrepresented groups. This Pink Shirt Day, we reaffirm our commitment to creating cultures of respect, mentorship, and equity—because no one should have to shrink themselves to fit in. How can you lead with kindness today? Whether it’s mentoring a colleague, amplifying another woman’s voice, or calling out unfair treatment, your actions create change. Let’s be the leaders who lift others up. Let’s create workplaces and communities where everyone belongs. ?? #PinkShirtDay #EndBullying #WomenInLeadership #LeadWithKindness
