International Women's Day 2022

 
The theme of International Women's Day 2022 is #BreakTheBias. Deliberate or unconscious, bias can make it difficult for women to move ahead. Knowing that bias exists is the first step but it isn't enough to #BreakTheBias. Individually, we are responsible for our own actions and thoughts — all day, every day. Addressing gender bias, discrimination and stereotypes as they occur is one step towards #BreakingTheBias, helping to forge a more inclusive world. 

Our members have struck the IWD 2022 pose, crossing their arms in solidarity, and shared how they #BreakTheBias in their workplaces and communities. 
 
Should you have any questions or would like to get involved in our diversity initiatives, please contact aoa@aoa.org.au

IODA Vice President and Co-founder Jenny Green helps #BreakTheBias by building an international network of support among female orthopaedic surgeons.
