International Women’s Day is a moment to celebrate and uplift the progress and achievements of women around the world. On this special day, many organisations, businesses and governments come together to recognize and celebrate the importance of gender equality and the social, economic, political and cultural achievements of women in Leadership.
This year’s theme for International Women’s Day, “Cracking the Code: Innovation for a Gender Equal Future,” emphasizes inclusion. We must all play a role in creating an inclusive, equitable world. Now more than ever, it is vital to challenge gender bias and stand for equality.
Harley Reed Ghana hosted a breakfast meeting on 3rd March 2023. This event united women to celebrate achievements and discuss actions for a more equitable world. It encouraged women to use their collective power to challenge the status quo and create meaningful change.
“We can work together to support and uplift women, break down societal barriers, and create a more equitable world,” Edith Uyovbukerhi, Country Manager – Harley Reed Ghana shared.
“On International Women’s Day and every day, we must choose to challenge the gender stereotypes, prejudices and biases that still exist in our society. We must challenge any form of discrimination, including gender bias, racism, ableism, and other forms of bigotry. We must choose to stand up and be a voice for the voiceless.”
“This International Women’s Day, let us come together to celebrate the progress and achievements of women, challenge gender bias and discrimination” said Mrs Uyovbukerhi. ”IWD also let us commit to creating an inclusive, equitable and just world. Together, we can make a difference,” she added.
