#AccelerateAction: Myerscough celebrates International Women’s Day

Published: Saturday 8 March

Myerscough is proud to provide opportunities to women across the land-based, sport, science and engineering sectors, including through a range of industries where females are under-represented.

International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality.

The theme for 2025 is #AccelerateAction.

It is a time to reflect on the theme for this year, celebrating women's achievements and raising awareness of the bias that exists in our communities.

Myerscough is committed to our FREDIE Principles and values the achievements and contribution of all members of our community.
