New Delhi [India], March 8 (ANI): On the occasion of International Women s Day, several leading ladies from Bollywood celebrated the spirit of womanhood by sharing celebratory and powerful messages with fans.

Movements like #metoo and #blacklivesmatter have increased voice and visibility of gender and race disparities in society and, in particular, workplaces. That includes universities. As we recover from the pandemic, we need innovative approaches to reshaping workplace rituals, rules and routines to advance gender equality and ensure safe workplaces.
Universities, where we prepare professionals and leaders of tomorrow, should be demonstrating and leading these changes. It’s time to:
embed an inclusive leadership approach
move more quickly towards gender equality
challenge the barriers to greater diversity
acknowledge the unequal power relations that exist in universities.
Stop assuming the ideal worker exists: the myth is busted. Chaining people to their desks or labs for every available productive hour is not responsible or effective. Nor does it create a sense of autonomy, wellness or active connections to the workplace or community.
