Women's History Month

Women's History Month goes beyond mere reflection on the past; it's a celebration of the ongoing tapestry of women's contributions that imbue richness into our present and carve pathways for our future.

This significant month, commencing on March 1st, finds its origins in the mid-19th century, a period defined by the relentless suffrage movement advocating for women's voting rights — a pivotal moment in the quest for equality. Throughout the years, women have shattered barriers across diverse domains, be it in science, politics, the arts, or athletics, thereby setting the stage for forthcoming generations.
