How do women (and men) at ISS define what it means to be a strong woman? How do they understand strength? Does it symbolize having it all? Does it mean a successful career? Does it mean challenging patriarchy? Or does it mean having the choice and freedom to take a break, rest and ask for help?
Our Global ISSues podcast team is searching for answers and creating a platform for our community during our week of storytelling in honour of this year's Women's History Month!
Storytelling week
This year's International Women's Day theme is '#BreaktheBias', which calls us to reimagine and create a gender equal world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us many versions of women's strength, but it's also exposed what was often invisibility, too.
The focus of this week will be to unpack how women's strength has been conventionally looked at, specifically in the domain of care work), and how these notions and opinions are changing or evolving, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic.
