1. This International Women’s Day, I pledge…
To challenge conscious and unconscious biases.
2. Across the organizational landscape, I want to see more female representation in…
Senior leadership positions so that they can inspire more women.
3. The one stereotype about women that should be busted this year is…
That household chores and taking care of children are women’s work; women are not good decision-makers and avoid conflict; women are not good drivers and last but not least that sexual harassment is a woman’s issue.
“National Foods is promoting gender equality and women empowerment through ECDC (Early Childcare and Development Centre); Humqadm.”
4. My organization is promoting gender equality and women empowerment…
Through ECDC (Early Childcare and Development Centre); Humqadm – an exclusive mentoring platform for females and by giving equal opportunities to every employee.
5. I believe women can fight gender inequality at their workplaces…
By being a mentor. It could be a structured or an unstructured relationship.

Same as no. 5
