IEEE UK & Ireland Women in Engineering Celebrates International Women’s Day 2023

International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.

From the earliest days of computing to the present age of virtual reality and artificial intelligence, women have made untold contributions to the digital world in which we increasingly live. Their accomplishments have been against all odds, in a field that has historically neither welcomed nor appreciated them.

IWD has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere.

Join with IEEE UK and Ireland’s Women in Engineering Affinity Group and all Section members in wishing all women ‘Happy International Women’s Day‘.
