Celebrating International Women’s Day

AWE marked International Women’s Day on March 8 – a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women and raising awareness about gender equality.

This year’s theme ‘Choose to Challenge’ was reflected in a series of events. On the day, AWE staff had the opportunity to hear from keynote speaker Zeb Farooq MBE, from engineering firm Jacobs and recipient of the 2019 WISE* Man of the Year award. Zeb discussed various topics surrounding the importance of gender equality in the workplace.

The day’s virtual events also gave staff the opportunity to hear different viewpoints and experiences through the sharing of interviews from a wide range of people involved in the nuclear industry. To round off the celebrations there was a lively panel discussion on ‘Choosing to Challenge’.
