March 8 is International Women’s Day, a global holiday to commemorate the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women. This year, the aim is to Break the Bias to achieve a gender-equal world. A world that is free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination, a world where difference is valued and celebrated.

And to celebrate, Expo has a MASSIVE lineup, a full schedule of programming, led by global thought leaders to spotlight issues of gender bias and to highlight the achievements of women. In particular, the Women’s Pavilion will host 2 key events, starting with a morning assembly for nations and partners to delve into important discussions about gender equality and women’s empowerment (If you would like to attend, you can still book your slot online, the morning assembly is running from 9am – 1pm so you’ll need to be quick.)

Register now: The event will be attended by United Nations Under-Secretary-General and former Executive Director of UN Women, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka (@phumzilemlambongcuka)
