“They shut me up in Prose –

As when a little Girl

They put me in the Closet –

Because they liked me “still”   –

Still! Could themself have peeped –

And seen my Brain – go round –

They might as wise have lodged a Bird

For Treason – in the Pound –

Himself has but to will

And easy as a Star

Look down opon Captivity –

And laugh – No more have I –” Emily Dickinson

There’s a lot to be hopeful for when it comes to women’s empowerment. The world that Emily Dickinson grew up in back in the 19th century has advanced. 

But there is still so much left to do to #BreakTheBias

Women and girls represent half of the world’s population, yet gender inequality persists across the globe.

Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. This year International Women’s Day celebrates women who are building a more sustainable future for all. This day is not just about women’s achievements but also our vision for a brighter and more sustainable future.

This years IWD (International Women’s Day) theme is #BreakTheBias
