Organisations can play a decisive role by actively addressing the needs and aspirations of
            women and girls. This can be achieved through:

               § Economic empowerment initiatives to support women financially
               § Diversity and inclusion programmes in recruitment, talent development,
              and leadership positions
               § Encouraging participation in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering,
              and math) by girls and women
               § Developing infrastructure that caters to the specific needs of women and girls
               § Promoting women’s health literacy and providing access to quality healthcare

               § Supporting women’s involvement in sustainable agriculture and food security
               § Ensuring access to quality education and training for girls and women
               § Celebrating women’s achievements in sports and the arts.
               § And continuously seeking ways to advance the progress of women and girls   further.

            Let’s use International Women’s Day as a springboard for action. By inspiring inclusion,
            looking beyond ‘talkshops’ and actively working towards gender equality, we can create a
            brighter future for all.
