Gender equity and mental health take center stage as women in business tackle work-life balance

Gender equity and mental health take center stage as women in business tackle work-life balance

On August 1st, 2024, AmCham Rwanda, in partnership with kate spade new york and Norrsken East Africa, hosted the inspiring forum "Women’s Mental Health and Gender Equity in Business." The forum fostered genuine dialogue on the intersection of gender equity and mental health within business environments. We explored the crucial role of allyship, highlighted barriers women face in business, and examined the impact of cultural norms on gender dynamics and mental health stigma in Rwanda. Key Takeaways: - Inclusive Dialogue: Open conversations about gender equity, allyship, mutual support, and mental health. - Challenges for Women in Business: Addressed unique challenges in business and entrepreneurship. - Cultural Impact: Explored the influence of cultural norms on gender dynamics and mental health. - Equity-Driven Allyship: Showcased successful allyship initiatives. - Concrete Actions: Inspired attendees to advance gender equity and mental health awareness. A heartfelt thank you to RDB Deputy CEO Nelly Mukazyire and to our partners kate spade new york and Norrsken East Africa for their invaluable support. Together, we're driving meaningful change toward true equity and opportunity for all. #GenderEquity #MentalHealth #WomenEmpowerment #AmChamRwanda #KateSpade #NorrskenKigali #Business #Entrepreneurship Ntirushwa Yannick
