The annual International Women’s Day on March 8 is a time to celebrate women around the world. With this year’s theme #EachforEqual, it’s a celebration that should be embraced. Women Love Tech is passionate about profiling women and particularly women in STEM. Here, we have highlighted seven events in seven different cities across seven different countries so that you can still celebrate women’s achievements, raise awareness against bias and take action for equality no matter where you are.
