The 8th of March was International Women’s day, and reason for our male colleagues to show their appreciation for their female colleagues through flowers and sweets. As they said, unfortunately, it is not a given that women have equal rights and opportunities, and it is important to strive for this. A gesture that was much appreciated!
However, striving for equality implies that when women are celebrated, so should men. For this reason, last Thursday, DDIS-Men’s day was initiated and used the assumption ‘the way to a person’s heart is through the stomach’. It turned out to be a solid premise, and a tradition that will remain at DDIS.
Besides, any reason to have cake is a good one!
