Women’s History Month

March is International Women’s History Month, a time to recognize and honour the contributions of women across generations. From trailblazers in science and politics to artists, activists, and visionaries, women have shaped history, broken barriers, and inspired change.

On International Women’s Day (March 8th), we will launch our #GermanWomenWhoInspire campaign, highlighting remarkable German women whose courage, innovation, and leadership continue to inspire us today. Each image will showcase a woman who has made an impact on our colleagues, accompanied by a message of empowerment and resilience.

Join the Celebration – and Win!
