EU-wide action is urgently needed to combat gender-based violence.

International Women’s Day Is a Socialist Holiday #iwd2023

On this International Women's Day, I wrote about the aftermath of being sexually assaulted by coworkers.
If you're a man who thinks you have never done this or are questioning whether you have, please read on.

“Here come's the man
to interrupt you
to cross the line” 🎶
"Having ordained that women are weak, evidence of women's strength must be evidence of dark magic - the more a woman survives, the more dangerous she must be. There exists a patriarchal fear of women's strength and reason. It is the men in power who give themselves up to hysteria and superstititon, absuing their control of others' lives in the service of conspiracy theories."

Few people have heard of Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin (1900-1979), yet her dissertation was hailed as “the most brilliant PHD thesis ever written in astronomy.” She discovered what stars are made of.
Whenever we look up at the stars twinkling in the night sky, let’s remember that very exceptional woman who gave us the knowledge of the true constitution of our universe.

My hat off to all women who not only exist but excel and push the envelope in male-dominated spaces despite all the curve balls, double standards, lack of recognition, and outright discrimination and just dare to think, imagine, create, build while supporting others. #iwd2023
“the digital divide has become the new face of gender inequality.” - Sima Bahous, executive director, UN Women. #IWD2023

Alberta peeps, If you can tune into #CKUA, I sponsored an hour for International Women's Day. 2-3pm
Be intentional. Be present. Be an ally every day. Not just on March 8. And not just in March.
My thoughts on gender pay gap, digital divide, and innovation economy ... on this International Women's Day.
"Be part of the solution, not a pretend ally."

Equal rights 💪 same skills
Only 1 in 5 ICT specialists in the EU are women.
On International Women’s Day 2023, our #EUDataCrunch demonstrates an area in which we have still not achieved true gender parity.
Why does this matter?
As the digital transition rolls out across industries throughout 🇪🇺, women deserve equal access to opportunities.
Our Digital Strategy includes targets to address the gender digital divide → europa.eu/!bFtwYq

“I Can’t Find It”
Did you look for it?
Did you really look for it?
Did you even try?
and
“She’s Crazy”
Oh, I understand.
So, you’re the problem. Not her.
I’d get that checked out.

My takeaways from this morning's keynote address by Doreen Bogdan-Martin at the United Nations International Women's Day observance.
In a field dominated by men, Bogdan-Martin is the first woman in 158 years to be elected by member nations as the Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

🇮🇪 Ireland to vote on removing ‘women’s place in the home’ reference from constitution
The referendum, announced on International Women’s Day, will be held in November - with Irish citizens able to vote on removing the mention of a woman’s “duties in the home” from the country’s constitution.

*Looks at Twitter* Sees Elsevier flooding the zone with #IWD2023 tweets. 🤢
Reminder:
of all the UK-based publishers, Elsevier have the very worst gender pay gap:
"... Elsevier, the publisher of The Lancet, stands out, with a median pay gap of 40% in favour of men over women in its UK business. This compares to a median gap of 22% at Wiley, 15% at Springer Nature, 15% at SAGE, and 13% at Oxford University Press."

"They #gatekeep their own little castles by purposefully speaking in #jargon and then condemning anyone who dares to ask the meaning of a word, and generally put down anyone who just might have #different priorities or opinions, or Bob forbid, want to look #feminine"
Carrie Sundra, founder of @alpenglow in #SanLuisObispo, #California
By 2025, we want to make significant progress towards a gender-equal Europe.
We aim at achieving gender balance in decision-making and in politics, for which we doubled down our efforts to increase women’s representation.
When it comes to representation, we lead by example.
Meet our spokeswomen: the official voice of the 🇪🇺 Commission with the media, with a frontline role in the decision-making process.
These strong women are an example of how the EU pushes forward gender equality.
Happy International Women's Day!
This year I am honored to feature a post by our very own @sapphicfire! Astrid provides us with a unique perspective into what IWD means to her and shares her experience as a member of a marginalized and often overlooked group within the broader movement for gender equality.

When women participate in decision-making situations, there are better outcomes for everyone.
This #InternationalWomensDay, I am taking joy in all the work my sisters are doing to establish and secure our full rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The fight is hard but we will not be denied. #IWD #IWD2023 #WomensLiberation #Women #Justice #EmbraceEquity

Speaking of International Women's Day, have you listened to Doctor Who: Redacted?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0c0krqf
It's a full-cast audio drama in a free 10-part podcast format, created by the BBC. Written by Juno Dawson.
It has 3 female lead roles, who are all LGBT+, including the star of the show who is #trans
It's probably the most inclusive piece of Doctor Who media I've ever experienced, and it's also a really great story, especially if you're a fan of the show and can spot all the references!
Check it out!
Happy #InternationalWomensDay !! I'm constantly inspired by the incredibly talented women that we have across @AMD… so proud of all that they do!#IWD2023
Happy International Women's Day! At Microsoft, we believe that inclusion is innovation, and we'll always strive to gather, listen to, and include as many perspectives as possible to create solutions for everyone.
[Re. @WorldBankWater]
A @WorldBank project has built 1,279 reservoirs & 30,686 rainwater harvesting cisterns across #Yemen.
In this water-scarce country, these systems address thirst & disease & protect rural women & girls who carry the burden of fetching water.
