#EmbraceEquity with Lone Design Club’s International Women’s Day Round Up

International Women’s day is an excellent opportunity to celebrate, every year (but really every day!), the wonderful and inspiring women in all areas of life. This day serves as a reminder of the important contributions women make to society and the progress that has been made to gender equality. However, there’s still a lot of work to be done to reach true gender equality. Despite progress made in recent years, there are still barriers that prevent women from benefiting from opportunities. including leadership positions, equal pay and legal rights.

Embrace Equity

This year’s theme ‘Embrace Equity’ calls for a deeper understanding of the need for true equity, moving beyond the notion of simply providing equal opportunities. 

As one of the largest industries in the world with women making up more than 70% of the total workforce in the fashion industry (Fashion Revolution) – fashion has powerful potential to change and promote greater equality for women in a variety of ways.
