International Women’s Day

Today the European Parliament is marking International Women’s Day (IWD) with events highlighting the issue of women’s economic empowerment. Areas on which its Gender Equality Committee will focus include women in science. We’re proud that our profession comprises a large proportion of woman pharmacists, all of whom apply scientific principles to benefit the health of their communities.
