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.
This year, under the theme of International Women’s Day, “Cracking the Code: Innovation for a Gender Equal Future, we’re reminded that everyone has a role to play in creating an inclusive and equitable world. Now more than ever, we must come together to challenge gender bias, stand up for equality, and commit to creating a more inclusive and just society.
Harley Reed Ghana ahead of International Women’s Day, hosted a breakfast meeting on 3rd March 2023 that brought women together in solidarity to celebrate achievements and discuss ideas and actions towards a more equitable world. It encouraged women to make a difference using their individual and 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, and commit to creating an inclusive, equitable and just world. Together, we can make a difference,” Mrs Uyovbukerhi added.
