International Women’s Day 2022 - Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow
International Women’s day 2022 (IWD) is a global event that celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. This global event encourages everyone to seek out and celebrate women's achievements. As we celebrate International Women’s Day, it’s important we look at the amazing work women are doing in the healthcare industry to challenge gender bias on a daily basis.
Bringing together a diverse range of people helps them perform at their best, whether delivering great services with compassion and empathy. It helps people realise their ambitions to grow and develop in the medical world. Several reports over the past few years have revealed a significant shortage of women in the highest positions across the healthcare industry
Inspiring woman in the UK: Yvonne Coghill
Yvonne Coghill is one of the NHS’ most senior nurses, and one of her roles is in promoting race equality within the health service. She is director of Workforce Race Equality Standard Implementation for NHS England and deputy president of the Royal College of Nursing.
For International Women’s Day this year, she wrote: “Women in the 21st century are told they can do and be anything, yet we know that for some women it is truer than for others, and for women, it isn’t as true as it is for some men.”
She added: “We cannot as women achieve equity with men unless they act as our advocates and supporters; we need our male allies. We need men to speak up for the unfairness and inequity in this gap and at the same time we need white women to speak up for their black and minority ethnic (BME) sisters because across the board BME people earn less than their white counterparts; this is the race equality pay gap.”
