International women's day (IWD) 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" (IWD website).

March is women's month, and on the 8th of March, every year, people all over the world gather to continue to lend their voice to this cause.

This year's theme is "Break the Bias" #breakthebias. We are encouraged to continue speaking out and imagine a world free from bias, stereotypes and discrimination. An inclusive, diverse, and equitable world. A world where differences are valued and celebrated. 

This world will become our reality when we celebrate women's achievements, increase visibility for them, create awareness against bias and take action for gender equality. 

To join the celebration and be a part of the movement, we are encouraged to strike the IWD #breakthebias pose, share our images, videos, resources, presentations or articles on social media using hashtags like #IWD2022 #breakthebias to encourage people to commit to helping forge an inclusive world.

Here at Dazzling Insights, we are sharing 50 inspirational and empowering quotes that not only resonate with this celebration but also to inspire our readers to continue to lend their voice and also, through their actions, to build a world that allows equal play for all, irrespective of our gender. 

Here we go:
