International Women's Day - Celebrate Women in Forensic Science and Let's talk about bias

International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

The day has occurred for well over a century, with the first​ ​IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. Prior to this the​ Socialist Party of America, United Kingdom's Suffragists and Suffragettes, and further groups campaigned for women's equality. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere.

The campaign theme for International Women's Day 2022 is #BreakTheBias. Whether deliberate or unconscious, bias makes it difficult for women to move ahead. Knowing that bias exists isn't enough. Action is needed to level the playing field.

EU IAI is proposing this virtual gathering to celebrate women in Forensic Science and let's discuss the challenges of various bias that exist in Forensic Science. 

This is FREE to all members and non members of EU IAI.

This virtual gathering will start at 1pm (GMT+1/London Time).
