International Women's Day

 

• What does International Women's Day mean to you? 

For me, it means global equal rights for women and a day for bringing this to the attention of the world.

 

• What do you feel are areas that need to improve for women today?

All women should have access to education and should have equal rights to men. The world is always changing and evolving, but there are still many countries where women are not able to live freely and I feel that this is where the main improvement should be made.

 

• What would your advice be for the next generation of women?

Be confident in your abilities. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something because you're a woman. Believe in yourself and your potential, and don't be afraid to take on challenges. You only have one life, you don’t get a second chance!

Jade, Marketing Manager:

• What does International Women's Day mean to you? 

It’s a day to recognize the progress made in gender equality and to raise awareness about the challenges that women continue to face worldwide.

• What do you feel are areas that need to improve for women today?

Efforts to eliminate discrimination, harassment, and bias in the workplace are very much ongoing. Creating safe and inclusive work environments is essential for women to thrive professionally and personally. I believe that ensuring equal educational opportunities is fundamental to empowering women – it doesn’t just improve your chances of finding employment but it also helps open your mind to new knowledge, which can be great for self-development and self-confidence.

• What would your advice be for the next generation of women?

Recognize your worth and capabilities and know that you are just as capable as anyone else. Make sure you embrace education and pursue your interests even if they are in a traditionally male-dominated field. Be sure to surround yourself with people who will uplift and support you!
