Today is International Women’s Day. The day is about celebrating women’s accomplishments and raising awareness about the challenges that continue to face women in today’s society.
Although a lot of awareness about gender bias, stereotypes, and discrimination faced by women exists. It is less known that those from culturally diverse, minority backgrounds experience further compounding impacts as a result of their experience of intersectionality due to race, gender, disability, age, religion and many other social determinants of systemic disadvantage, exclusion and discrimination that exist across our community.
