[👷♀️ International Women's Day] On this March 8, HDI wants to highlight the Drilling Contractors Association (DCA) initiative to expand #Women inclusion in our industry. 🚧 The shortage of qualified personnel remains a major and complex challenge in the currently demanding HDD market. At the Drilling Contractors Association (DCA), we want to be in a position where #horizontaldrilling is made more attractive for all, especially field positions. 💪 The “Women Empowering HDD” project, is an embryonic group of six women which have been meeting since October 2023. The idea is to create a network, benchmark best practices all over Europe and suggest to our drilling market members how the diversity can empower their own individual business. Our Development and Tendering Director, Camila Sanchez Prado is one of the pioneers of this action. If you are interested to contribute to this dynamic, please respond to the survey below or contact one of their representatives: Fabiola Schnau, Lydie Vuille, Nicole Laubach, Elsedien Zevalkink, Anna Serarols Grau and Camila Sanchez Prado. ➡️ To respond to the survey : https://lnkd.in/eKY-FuJJ #EqualityInConstruction #BuildBetterTogether #DCA #genderequity #InternationalWomensDay #Empowering #HDD #womeninconstruction

Men hold most leadership roles, yet when we speak of women empowerment, we do not hold them accountable for creating a conducive environment for women to thrive and grow into leadership roles. We need more men to actively participate in the empowerment of women through advocacy, challenging gender norms, mentorship, allyship and promoting an inclusive environment! Of course the same is needed from other women, but we can not ignore the contribution of men in addressing these inequalities. *responding to a diverse panel of women in STEM from mining, manufacturing and construction sectors organized by #HRDC #tradeupnorth #womeninleadership #womenempowerment #womeninSTEM

Championing Gender Equality 💪 As an ESG practitioner, I am deeply committed to supporting gender equality in all aspects of our work. This support must be unwavering, with no caveats or conditions. 🌍 Even when narrowly defined, solely from an economic perspective, the empirical evidence is clear: increased labour participation enhances economic activity and generates greater value. 📈 Historically, certain jobs were gender-specific due to the technology and social expectations of the time. However, with today's advancements in automation and technology, these gender-driven career choices are becoming a thing of the past. 🚀 Having served in the Navy and the energy and commodity transportation sectors for most of my life, I am proud to see more women taking on leadership roles in shipping operations and boardrooms. It is encouraging to witness meritocracy thriving, regardless of race, language, religion, or gender. 🌟 Onwards and upwards! 🚢✨ #womeninshipping #GenderEquality #ESG #Inclusion #Diversity #Empowerment #Leadership #Meritocracy #WomenInLeadership #Automation #EconomicGrowth #factanonverba

As Women's month comes to a close, we celebrated the incredible achievements of women who are transforming the mining industry. As Deputy Minister Nonceba Mhlauli highlighted at the Sishen Women in Mining Women's Day Indaba, women have played a crucial role in driving growth and innovation, proving the power of equal opportunities. Creating an inclusive environment where women can thrive is vital to reimagining mining to improve people’s lives. Promoting gender equality and supporting women in overcoming challenges like discrimination, limited career advancement, gender based violence, bullying and harassment remains a key focus. Through initiatives like the Mining Charter, the commitment to equitable access and representation continues, ensuring women have the opportunity to lead and excel in the industry.

In the latest edition of #Unstoppable Female Founders I spotlighted Clara Zetkin, the woman who is credited with setting to motion International Women's Day. Here are just a few reasons why Clara Zetkin inspires me: 1. Early on she recognized that true equality could only be achieved through the dismantling of both gender and class oppression. 2. She was the leading female theorist of socialist emancipation theory and as such helped to formulate the core ideas of socialist feminism. 3. She helped found the newspaper Gleichheit, meaning Equality, growing its circulation from a few thousand to 23,000 in 1905 and 112,000 by 1913. 4. She was openly vocal about opposing World War 1, citing: 'Who profits from this war? Only a tiny minority in each nation: The manufacturers of rifles and cannons, of armor-plate and torpedo boats, the shipyard owners and the suppliers of the armed forces' needs. In the interests of their profits, they have fanned the hatred among the people' 4. 910, at the second International Socialist Women's Conference in Copenhagen, Clara proposed the idea of an annual day to highlight the struggles and achievements of women worldwide, 'International Women's Day!
