Originally published on March 3, 2023 on PowerToFly as 40+ Women's History Month & International Women's Day Company Celebration Ideas

Every March 8th, International Women's Day serves as a call to action for gender parity.

And throughout the month of March, Women’s History Month recognizes the contributions and achievements women have made throughout history.

PowerToFly partner companies celebrate the women on their teams 365 days of the year, but they were kind enough to share some of the special programming they have in place to commemorate International Women's Day and Women's History Month during the month of March.

Here's a look at the events, initiatives, and programs that PagerDuty planned to celebrate Women's History Month & International Women's Day this year, in their own words:

To live out this year’s IWD theme 'Embracing Equity,' PagerDuty is focused on celebrating Women’s History Month through an Intersectional Lens. At the helm is our Employee Resource Group (ERG), SisterDuty — along with Elevate, Array, and Illuminate ERGs.

Throughout March, we’ll offer programming seeking to uplift and inform our team. We’ll have everything from mentorship events, to a panel with Advocates for Equity, to STEM-focused speakers during our biannual Hackweek, to company-wide Slack posts spotlighting 'Women and Gender Minorities Forging Change in the World.' There will be thoughtful discussion and fun along the way with Bookclubs centered on Hood Feminism, The Joy Luck Club, and even some WHM Trivia! We will also provide each Dutonian (PagerDuty employee) with an opportunity to give back to their communities by matching donations to the Period Project or Kiva.org.
