Stevie Farndon speaks to five women overcoming gender barriers to transform dentistry through leadership, mentorship and purpose.
International Women’s Day invites reflection not only on progress toward gender equality but also on how meaningful change happens within professions.
This year’s theme, ‘give to gain’, highlights the impact of generosity, collaboration and shared support in creating opportunity while strengthening communities.
Across dentistry, women are shaping the profession through leadership, mentorship, education and service.
