The theme of International Women's Day 2024 is 'Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress.'
In the spirit of celebrating equality, diversity, and the incredible achievements of women, our team were privileged to be able to take a few of our amazing customers along to the Gen Collective’s 2024 International Women’s Day Event.
The annual gathering, not only provided the opportunity for our team and our customers to connect, reflect, and contribute to the ongoing narrative of investing in women but also supported the notion that when women are given equal opportunities to learn, earn and lead – entire communities thrive.
The room was full, with over 200 incredible women celebrating the occasion, featuring Tennis Great, TV Host, and #1 Author, the truly inspiring Jelena Dokic, who shared her journey of resilience, perseverance, and strength throughout her career. A timely reminder to encourage others the find the power to thrive against adversity.
With this year's theme in mind, 'Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress', we discussed with our guests what the day means to them...
"Celebrating and supporting women's achievements in the community and in business"
"Supporting and celebrating women's achievements, promoting awareness of gender issues, finding inspiration and learning from others."
"Engaging and promoting the success of females in organisations, and a chance to lift up females in a male-dominated movement."
"Recognising the achievements of women and encouraging the next generation of leaders. Changes made today should pave the way for girls coming through."
"A day to connect with women and celebrate achievements, but also a day to reflect on the issues impacting women, and making change."
As an organisation within a forward-thinking and innovative sector, it’s important to our team to create opportunities where women not only enter the industry, but break the gender ‘norms’ to lead.
