International Women’s Day 2025 – How we make a difference at Pollen Street
With International Women’s Day (IWD) being celebrated on March 8th, we’ve been reflecting on what this day means, who has inspired us, and how we can make a difference in fostering an inclusive workplace. IWD is not just directed at women - it’s about changing the social and working environment for 50% of the population so that 100% can benefit. Progress happens when we work together, not just on one day, but every day.
