On Thursday 13th March, City St George’s marked International Women’s Day (8th March) by celebrating women leaders and reflecting on this year’s International Women’s Day (IWD) theme of ‘Accelerating Action’. This inspiring event highlighted the achievements of women leaders in our community and explored the ways to drive meaningful change to achieve gender equity. This event provided an opportunity to celebrate Professor Jindani joining the Wall of Extraordinary Women and her extraordinary accomplishments, influence and impact, in addition to holding space for a panel on accelerating action towards gender equity.
“It was amazing to see everyone come together to celebrate the contributions and achievements of women leaders in our community, and also reflect on the urgent action still needed to work towards gender equity. The panel discussion highlighted ways that all of us can contribute to this important work and gave us all much to think about in terms of the impact that we can have, individually and collectively.”
