International Women's Day originates from the feminist movements that took place in Europe and the Americas in the early 20th century and has been celebrated for over 100 years, through which women's rights in the workplace and life have been increasingly emphasized. This year, it is celebrated under the theme Embrace Equity, calling on all people to participate in gender equity and work together to achieve an inclusive world.
“三八”国际妇女节，发端于20世纪初的欧美女权运动，至今已有百余年历史。百年来，不论是在工作还是日常生活中，女性合法权益越来越凸显。今年，国际妇女节以“拥抱平等”为主题，呼吁所有人关注性别平等并致力于达成一个更包容的世界。
Therefore, the European Chamber plans to organise an online event on "Women in Business", in which we would like to invite member companies to discuss the challenges and former practices regarding promoting workplace gender equity and outstanding women to share their experiences in overcoming the barriers. The event aims to build a community of women in the workplace and help them to make their voices heard.
为建立相关社群、帮助职场女性发声，中国欧盟商会拟于3月7日举办“职场女性”线上研讨会，诚邀各会员公司共同探讨职场性别平等的现实困境和成功实践，也欢迎优秀女性代表分享相关经验。我们静候您的到来。
