Acknowledging the Impact of Women in Aviation on International Women’s Day
Every year on 8th March, we celebrate International Women’s Day to recognise and praise the accomplishments of women in social, economic, cultural, and political spheres. This day reminds us of the advancements in promoting gender equality, fostering a moment to appreciate the strides taken and motivating collective efforts for a more inclusive and fair global society.
