This talk is part of celebrating March 8 as International Women’s Day and the whole of March as International Women’s Month. We will discuss why the celebration of women’s day/month is important, what is missing and what else we need to see in women’s visibility projects. This panel follows the international theme of  #breakthebias whereby we want to create awareness on ending bias, stereotypes and discrimination against all women. Our women speakers represent various identities and collectively fight for diversity, inclusivity and intersectionality. Through this talk we celebrate all women's contribution in making our world a better place.

This event is presented by the Gender Studies Programme, School of Humanities, the Committee on Gender Equality and Diversity, Faculty of Arts, and the Common Core Office at the University of Hong Kong, with the support of the U.S. Consulate General Hong Kong and Macau.
