#BreakTheBias

International Women's Day

Forward Together

Celebrating the incredible women at viaPhoton and their allies who promise to Break The Bias and foster an inclusive world for all. We asked our team, from around the globe, how they pledge to take ownership for driving gender parity.

Creating equality means deconstructing the barriers and preconceived notions regarding generational, societal, and professional stereotypes. As women, we will continue to stand strong. As a collective, we must stay accountable.

It makes me very proud, as an individual and a member of the viaPhoton team, to see us take the lead on this very important aspect of our progress as a society.

Breaking the bias to me means hiring the best person for the job, regardless of the position and individual’s race, ethnicity, and certainly gender.

Diversity of our team and inclusiveness of our culture is what allows us to change the norm.

Baber Abbas • CEO, Co-Founder

How often are we innocently contributing to the bias? If we want to forge women’s equality collectively, we must take individual ownership. When we understand our own biases, we can live the change we want to see, and create ripples of impact that increase equality and inclusion..

What It Means To Us

Breaking the bias to me means creating a culture where the act of empowering every individual becomes commonplace.

Encourage everyone, especially women, to work in positions that maintain respect and dignity as mothers as well as makers of generations.

Breaking the bias is a step closer to a world where every individual is valued, a world of equality and diversity.

Breaking the bias means being able to be a part of a community that enables positive societal change.

There is no better place than a world that is diverse and equitable. Together we can make a powerful force, determined to rise.

Just imagine a family with primarily men... It's so easy to see why we need more women to make any company care more!

The sooner we educate ourselves about diversity, practice empathy, and clear our minds from unconscious bias, the sooner we can truly respect, recognize and judge everyone equally.
