We can all truly embrace equity. It’s not just something we say. It’s not just something we write about. It’s something we need to think about, know and embrace. It’s what we believe in, unconditionally. Equity means creating an inclusive world.

The theme for International Women’s Day is embrace equity. This year we ask all of you to join us as we embrace equity. When we embrace equity, we embrace diversity and we embrace inclusion.
We embrace equity to forge harmony and unity and to help drive success for all. Equality is the goal and equity is the means to get there. Embracing gender equity is the right thing to do. Don’t just say it. Think it. Be it. Do it. Value it. Truly embrace it.. Embrace equity in all its forms.
We can all challenge gender stereotypes, call out discrimination, draw attention to bias, and seek out inclusion. Collective activism is what drives change. From grassroots action to widescale momentum. This is a goal for Desis of Doylestown. To lend a hand in creating equitable and just communities where we all thrive.
Wearing a saree towards this goal of embracing equity is significant. The threads used to weave a saree have united women for centuries. The saree symbolizes the heritage, culture and identities of a desi women.
Join us this year as we embrace equity!
