Happy International Women’s Day! This year’s theme is #BreaktheBias, which aims to stop bias and discrimination based on a person’s gender. Whether deliberate or unconscious, gender bias is still rampant in many workplaces and communities. This results in women losing out on opportunities and getting ahead in their careers. In the gaming industry especially, we need to do more to make all genders and people welcome, heard, and valued.
We challenged people on our team here at Playable Worlds to join in and support gender equality in the workplace. Check out their pledges below!
