International Women’s Day is recognised globally.
It is a day to celebrate women’s social, economic, cultural and political achievements. It also serves as an annual call to action for gender parity.
The world may be slowly moving toward equality, but there is still a lot to do
WOMEN LEADERS

Having women on the board and as business leaders is hugely important.
Women leaders are role models for others to look up to and be inspired to succeed.
And that’s why we celebrate International Women’s Day by encouraging women to put themselves forward and to win awards!
