🌟 This International Women’s Day 2025, we’re reflecting on the journey towards true equity🌟    According to data from the World Economic Forum, "At the current rate of progress, it will take until 2158, which is roughly five generations from now, to reach full gender parity."   The picture you see here depicts five generations of women, each one a testament to resilience, progress, and the power of change. Yet, it’s also a reminder of how far we still have to go.    At Ultima, we’re committed to accelerating this change. From fostering inclusive workplaces to supporting women-led initiatives, we believe in taking action today to shape a better tomorrow.    This #IWD2025, let’s challenge ourselves to move beyond awareness and into action. Let’s invest in women, amplify their voices, and build a future where equity isn’t a distant dream but a lived reality.    #AccelerateAction #WomenEmpowerment
