​This year's theme for International Women’s Day is #EmbraceEquity. The aim of the campaign theme is to understand the difference between equity and equality and get the world talking about why equal opportunities aren't enough. People start from different places, so true inclusion and belonging require equitable action.

By challenging gender stereotypes, calling out discrimination, drawing attention to bias, and seeking out inclusion we can create a fair and equal world for all. 

“We are a global business currently working with clients across 5 continents and candidates from 6 continents! Though we see women at all levels of aviation, representation is out of balance. We are fortunate to have some trailblazing women in aviation joining us next week for a webinar to discuss the important topic of gender diversity in our industry and how we can empower girls and young women to choose a future in the so-far typically male dominated environments of the cockpit or engineering. Our speakers from Africa and Europe will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience of the different levels of encouragement, support and opportunities needed across continents to work towards gender equity.”

“Equality is one of the core values at Medikumppani and therefore it’s embraced every day in many ways.  In our team each thought, and idea is heard, valued and appreciated. We understand that the best ideas are evolved together and therefore every role is equally important. Everyone is supported and offered the same fair opportunities to grow and every victory, big or small, deserves celebration. We understand that the way we treat, and respect others is always benefiting our candidates and clients too.”

“At Monroe, each job grade is paid the same, no matter age, gender, sexual orientation, or anything else. Every one of us have the same opportunity for promotion based on ability, facts and figures, not preferential treatment. In 18 years of this career, this is the only place I have known to operate like this.”

“Here at Become, we always employ the best person for the job regardless of their gender, heritage, sexuality, or background. Over the years we’ve employed people from many different walks of life, and what I’ve learnt is that every individual is unique, so one size doesn’t fit all. We have an open office that celebrates equality and doesn’t tolerate discrimination of any kind. We try and make the workplace an inclusive, safe space where everyone can express their true authentic selves. 60% of our current team is female and we’ve always naturally had a higher ratio of women to men. We offer flexibility when it comes to things like childcare as juggling full-time careers with family can sometimes be tricky and unpredictable!”
