Five leading female dental professionals share their tips and insights into how to support women in dentistry for International Women’s Day.
Celebrated annually on 8 March, International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global day highlighting the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender equality.
This year’s International Women’s Day theme is ‘give to gain’. Encouraging a mindset of generosity and collaboration, give to gain emphasises the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organisations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction, it’s intentional multiplication. When women thrive, we all rise.
Whether through donations, knowledge, resources, infrastructure, visibility, advocacy, education, training, mentoring, or time, contributing to women’s advancement helps create a more supportive and interconnected world.
We asked a selection of women in dentistry two questions:
- What’s your top tip for supporting women in dentistry
- How will you give to gain this International Women’s Day?
Here’s what they had to say.
