#EachforEqual | #IWD2020
Find out more about International Women's DayOn 8 March it’s International Women's Day. It’s a day on which we celebrate women's social, economic, cultural and political achievements around the world. A day that is also a call to action to everyone to contribute in their own way by challenging stereotypes, fighting bias, broadening perceptions, improving situations and celebrating women's achievements.
At Proximus, we are committed to gender equality and equal opportunities in the workplace and we strive for more women at all levels of the organization.
Our female colleagues enthusiastically participated in our "Strike a pose" photo shoot and are also happy to testify about their job experience and talents. With the #EachforEqual attitude we support women worldwide.
