March 8, International Women's Day
Tomorrow, March 8th is International Women's Day, a day that's recognized by the United Nations.
IWD is celebrated mostly outside of the US, more and more US companies (including Sun!) are recognizing IWD as part of their diversity & inclusion activities. Google even changes the logo on their website in honor of IWD!
In many countries, women are given time off from work on March 8 and are lavished with gifts and flowers -- it's very similar to Mother's Day in the US, but recognizes all women, not just the moms.
Sun's Employee Resource Network (ERN) for Women has a number of activities going on throughout March (which is also Women's History Month in the US, Australia and other countries).
This March, we are highlighting Sun's activities on our Group Blog
(http://blogs.sun.com/women).
We are also sharing infomation about prominent women who have made
contributions to the computer industry.
