It’s International Women’s Day on March 8. This year, it invites you to imagine a gender-equal world: a world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated.
Becky Cranham, former school teacher and director at PlanBee said: “To achieve a gender-equal world, we must encourage and empower girls and young women to achieve their potential and to allow nothing to stand in their way.
“So we decided to create some simple, but powerful posters for girls. Each poster contains a phrase to inspire, encourage or motivate young people, and challenge negative or unhelpful thoughts.”
Becky has made these posters free to download for our readers. You could put them up around your home, seeing these empowering messages every day will help to encourage your daughters to reach for the stars.
The hashtag for this year’s International Women’s Day is #BreakTheBias.
