In alignment with the United Nations’ 2024 theme, “Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress,” this event recognized the dedication and impact of women who have transformed the medical field and advanced societal progress.
In addition to honoring women in medicine, ICSB reinforced its commitment to amplifying the voices of women scholars in entrepreneurship. Through its Journal for Small Business Management, led by Drs. Katia Passerini, Eric Liguori, and Ayman ElTarabishy, ICSB focused on the theme “The Impact of Women Scholars on the Entrepreneurial Landscape.” This initiative underscores the organization’s dedication to fostering gender equity in business and innovation worldwide.
ICSB 2023 theme for International Women’s Day, March 8, 2023 (IWD 2023) is “The Impact of Women Scholars on the Entrepreneurial Landscape.”

The United Nations 2023 International Women’s Day theme is “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality.” It is aligned with the priority theme for the upcoming 67th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women, “Innovation and technological change, and education in the digital age for achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls.”
