International Women’s Day 2024 campaign theme is ‘Inspire Inclusion’
The campaign theme for International Women’s Day 2024 is Inspire Inclusion.
When we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, we forge a better world.
And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there’s a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment.
Collectively, let’s forge a more inclusive world for women.

” I think people need to find their own way whatever that might be. I’m a huge advocate for apprenticeships, because at the end of the day, the companies are paying for your education at the same time.”

Elain Brice
Despite a push to create a more diverse automotive workforce, there is still a gap between the ratios of men to women. This may be down to more social stigmas and the jobs women are perceived to fit into. We know that whether you are male or female you can do anything you set your mind to. An area that seems to show most improvement in the increase of females in the industry, whether in a working role or volunteering, is the Motorsport sector. Below is an inspiring case study from a woman that we met at Santa Pod, who has made her way through roles in this sector ignoring or pushing through any social stigma or boundary she may have faced.
