Happy International Women's Day! Today, we celebrate all the women who work tirelessly to close the gap and fight for equality and equity not only in the workplace but also in the outside world. We commend you for your hard work and dedication! Did you know that the gap between men and women in the civilian workforce has only started to close not too long ago? The chart below shows the percentage of women and men in the civilian workforce from 1948-2022. While we still have a long way to go, the strides that have been made are astronomical! Let's continue to work towards a more equal and equitable future for all! #internationalwomensday #equality #equity #womenintheworkforce #diversityandinclusion

Today marks International Women’s Day, a time to reflect on the progress made toward a more equal future and to recognize the work that still remains to achieve gender equality around the world. March is also Women’s History Month, when we honor women’s contributions in American history, which often have been undervalued. The vision and achievements of powerful women have strengthened our Nation and opened the doors of opportunity wider for all of us. Though their stories too often go untold, all of us stand on the shoulders of these sung and unsung trailblazers — from the women who took a stand as suffragists, abolitionists, and labor leaders to pioneering scientists and engineers, technologists, groundbreaking artists, proud public servants, and brave members of our Armed Forces. This Women’s History Month, may we recognize the long, storied history of great women helping to realize our Nation’s founding promise and highest aspirations. May we all continue working to build a world worthy of the dreams and goals of all women and girls. The campaign theme for International Women's Day 2024 is Inspire Inclusion. When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world and when women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. Collectively, let's forge a more inclusive world for women. #InspireInclusion “The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up.

Today is International Women's Day. Today I want to send love to all the women around the world and recognize our strengths and achievements. Every year, on this day we speak of the great achievements of women, which is great.... but is it good enough? Women continue to be marginalized within our communities and our workplaces, yet women continue to make remarkable communications in both spaces. This International Women's Day, we need to commit to, and ACTION plans which deliver on gender inclusivity and ensure that they are inclusive and take into account the needs of Black women and the disparities amongst Black and white women. We must: Be BRAVE and consider issues that still pose challenges for Black women in the workplace. 🎯 Consider intersectionality 🎯 Understand that gender inclusion in not just about white women 🎯 Actively promote Black women and their contributions... and not steal their work! 🎯 Commit to pay Black women their worth 🎯 Remove performative actions 🎯 Acknowledge that inclusion is for all women... not just some! #InspireInclusion Have I missed anything? Share your views in the comments. #IWD2024 #diversityandinclusion #intersectionality #RepresentationMatters

I always say a woman alone has power; collectively we have impact. Traditionally we have been taught to be competitive with one another, because there was such a scarcity of jobs at the top. It’s so clear that strategy doesn’t work. The truth is that raising each other up and channeling the power of collaboration is truly how we’ll change the equation—and have a lot more fun along the way. Women women support women, we all thrive. I love the Shine Theory, which is the idea that when you help another woman rise, we all shine. Build other women up!

Thank you Jombay for the recognition of being on the list of “TOP ALLIES 2023” published by Jombay’s #1000WomenLeaders Movement. >> You can see the entire list here - https://lnkd.in/gvig75Tu Let's talk about why Allyship is important! What is Allyship? Allyship is a practice where individuals become collaborators supporting an individual’s growth or success in any walk of life. At the workplace, allyship can also become a strategic tool, whereby an ally can collaborate to promote equity through supportive public actions of sponsorship and advocacy. What can an Ally do? An Ally can help drive systemic improvements to workplace practices, processes and culture. Allyship can also be a powerful practice in advancing women leadership. How can one then become a powerful ally at the workplace? 1) Being mindful of gender biases during role allocation, 2) Encourage psychological safety, where any gender feels safe and seen and is encouraged to bring their whole selves to work, 3) Advocacy on gender friendly infrastructure and policies, 4) Creating Sisterhood circles: Women leaders can support each other by building powerful sisterhood and listening circles, 5) Credit sharing: Often women shy away from claiming their achievements with an ally can help the team recognize, celebrate success stories of women leaders and share credit when required, 6) Talking about Microaggressions: Recognizing microaggressions and speaking up against it. Looking forward to having more allies who can help us advance & enrich each other!

This March, let's march towards equity and inclusion. There are three things you can do in your organization or team to make the International Women's Day (IWD) celebration meaningful: 1. Make women leaders visible. Let women inspire women: When women leaders share their perspectives about careers and life, they inspire other women (and men). Seeing someone like you at the top leading the squad is always inspiring. When she can, I too can. 2. Arrange a session for everyone in the organization to discuss the need for inclusivity and gender-neutral pronouns. Creating a guide on inclusive language will be a good idea. 3. Reiterate your equal-opportunity policy. Highlight that recruitment or promotion decisions are based on merit and not gender. Remember that little things can go a long way. This IWD, give confidence as a gift. Trust me, this will go a long way...beyond IWD. How do you plan to celebrate? #womensday2024

[HAPPY 8TH OF MARCH TO ALL WOMEN!]   As you know, today is International Women's Day. As a company run by women and with a high percentage of female employment, we place particular importance on celebrating this occasion. So today we have decided to tell you or remind you why this day was established. For decades, it was mistakenly thought that Women's Day was established following a factory fire in which tens of women workers died. However, already at the beginning of the 20th century in Russia, in several European countries, as well as in the United States, days had been set aside in February and March when women were free to demonstrate to demand their rights. However, the highly political connotation of Women's Day in its early manifestations, the events of World War II, and finally the subsequent political isolation of Russia and the communist movement in the Western world, contributed to the loss of historical memory of the real origins of the event. By resolution 3010 (XXVII) of 18 December 1972, recalling twenty-five years since the first session of the Commission on the Status of Women - held in Lake Success, Nassau County, between 10 and 24 February 1947 - the UN proclaimed 1975 as the "International Year of Women". On 16 December 1977, by resolution 32/142, the UN General Assembly proposed that each country, while respecting local historical traditions and customs, declare one day a year to be "United Nations Day for Women's Rights and International Peace". With this resolution, the Assembly recognised the role of women in peace efforts and acknowledged the urgency of ending all discrimination and increasing support for women's full and equal participation in the civil and social life of their country. 8 March, already celebrated in several countries, was chosen as the official date by many nations. We hope that in the not-too-distant future women's rights and gender equality will be achieved in all countries. The G. Krahmer GmbH Team Picture: Lady in a Garden by Edmund Blair Leighton, 1906

"The perception of logistics being male-dominated is a myth; in fact, gender diversity thrives within the sector. We've shifted from referring to it as "manpower" to recognizing it as "brain power." In logistics, women contribute significantly to stability and propel the sector forward. Our gender diversity has grown from 6 to 12 percent, and we are committed to further bolstering it in the future"- Ashwani Nath , Chief Commercial Officer, Logistics –Subcontinent, DP World at the 4th edition of ET NOW Best Organizations for Women.
