This year’s #IWD2022 theme is #BreakTheBias. The day celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women all over the world.

Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias.

Every year we celebrate inspirational female leaders – this year we wanted to acknowledge that alongside gender, that age, beauty, marital status and other biases also come into play. So let’s meet these five inspirational women who have been breaking biases of their own…

On Father’s Day every year, we like to celebrate male entrepreneurs who are running successful businesses whilst being awesome dads and family guys. (This was last year’s article)

So for Father’s Day, we decided to redress the balance and celebrate some of the male entrepreneurs in our network who are running their own successful businesses whilst being awesome dads. 

It’s a bit longer than our usual blogs, but once we got these guys talking about their families and their businesses, it was hard to stop them – and it’s all good stuff!

Globally, over 2.7 billion women are legally restricted from having the same choice of jobs as men.

Only 5% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women.

In 40% of economies, women’s early-stage entrepreneurial activity is half or less than half of that of men’s. (Source: unwomen.org)

To celebrate International Women’s Day, we thought we’d ask some of our fellow sisters in business to share their experiences with us. These women are all carving out their own definition of success and running their companies, their way.

We hope you find their responses fascinating and inspirational in equal measures…

It’s a bit of a longer article than normal, but it was all such good stuff – once we all started talking business there was no stopping us!
