Gender Equality Week (Sept. 18-22) was a vibrant celebration of progress and a reminder of the work that still lies ahead. Throughout the week, we engaged our community with a number of posts focused on the progress made and what is still left to conquer. It served as a powerful reminder that, despite the strides we’ve made, there is still substantial work ahead to address gender disparities and foster inclusivity.
