2020’s IWD theme was “Each for Equal.” We are all parts of a whole. Our individual actions, conversations, behaviors and mindsets can have an impact on our larger society. This idea is rooted in everything we do in Environment. Because collectively, we can make change happen. Collectively, we can each help to create a gender equal world. We asked our community what Gender equity means to them.
