International Parity at Work Day is observed worldwide every January 11, with the primary aim of promoting workplace diversity and combating employment discrimination based on various factors such as race, gender, and disability. The day highlights the ongoing struggle for workplace equality, which has persisted for decades, and addresses issues stemming from unconscious bias in hiring practices. The inaugural event took place in 2017 at the Leadenhall Building in London, UK, featuring multicultural performances and discussions. Events are organized by businesses and communities globally, including locations such as Australia, Japan, Sri Lanka, and the United States. One of the key goals of this observance is to accelerate the achievement of economic parity between the sexes, which the World Economic Forum estimates will take 170 years.
