Happy International Women’s Month!
On the 8th of March is International Women’s Day.
I’m proud to be one of the few women in our region helping to deliver a multibillion pounds legacy project with the Transport Sector here in Westmidlands United Kingdom.
Our region will be hosting the Commonwealth games this year for the first time. I hope we will welcome contingents from Imo State. We are working hard on ground to ensure the additional hundreds of thousands of visitors we will welcome from around the world are able to travel across the different sporting venues in a renewed, rebranded, efficient and reliable public transport connection.
Women are encouraged this International Women’s Month to share their impact in traditionally male dominated environments.
Although, you do not have to be a woman to take part. If you’re a man born of a woman you can join all Women around the world to either make a commitment or reinforce your commitment to Women’s Empowerment.
Put your words into action, words are no longer enough and a lot of damage has been done on all levels for not utilizing the Women force.
This year’s theme is #breakthebias.
Re-imagine a world where your wife, your girlfriend, sister, mother, aunty, niece, or even you as a woman do not have to suffer bias, discrimination or even stereotypes just because of your gender!
Get behind the Empowerment of Women.
Do something practical to show your commitment this Month and beyond.
Happy International Women’s Month!
