International Women’s Day (IWD) takes place annually on March 8 to recognize and celebrate women’s achievements, challenge biases, and reflect on and advance efforts towards greater gender equality. Across research, education, university services and student life, women at UBC are making a difference in the lives of others every day.
The theme this year is “Break the Bias”. In honour of this day, we invite you to wear purple and download these Zoom backgrounds to show your support.

By challenging and calling out gender bias and inequality, we can all help create a more inclusive UBC. Visit UBC’s International Women’s Day page to explore stories of achievement, register for events and find community resources.
