BRAC University recently marked International Women's Day with a series of engaging programs and activities, all geared towards promoting gender equality and uplifting women's well-being. Under the resonant theme "Invest in women: Accelerate progress," the institution orchestrated a multifaceted celebration to recognize the invaluable contributions of women across various sectors.
The campus was awash in shades of purple as administrative staff and faculty members adorned themselves in the color symbolizing dignity and empowerment. Purple-clad individuals proudly sported badges, signifying their solidarity with the cause.
A highlight of the day was the heartfelt gesture extended towards female staff and faculty members, who each received a meticulously curated handmade gift hamper. This gesture of appreciation underscored the institution's commitment to acknowledging the dedication and hard work of its female cohort.
Additionally, the university community came together to express gratitude and joy through personalized e-cards, exchanged via the dedicated platform [mybracuniversitycard.com](https://mybracuniversitycard.com/).

Male faculty members and administrative staff were also encouraged to participate in the celebration by delivering personalized cards to their female colleagues, thereby fostering a culture of appreciation and mutual respect.
The vibrant spirit of the occasion was further amplified on social media platforms, where photos capturing the essence of the day were shared using the hashtag #InvestInWomen. These visual narratives not only showcased the enthusiasm and solidarity of the university community but also served as catalysts for inspiring others to embrace diversity and empowerment.
In addition to these initiatives, a thought-provoking panel discussion was convened in collaboration with Robi, featuring esteemed speakers from both organizations.
