Event: Women's Day at icddr,b

One thing I love about icddr,b is the effort it makes to overtly be supportive of gender equality. They even have a Gender Equality Committee. I do not know if this open support is reflected under the surface, but I loved they are trying.

March 8 was Women's Day, and there was a celebration at icddr,b we left our desks behind to go party in the "quad" area. My awesome coworkers had planned ahead and we went shopping for matching kameez the day before. At the event, balloons were released, the national anthem was sung, we painted on one another's hands, and took pictures galore!
