International Women's Day - Diversity and Inclusion


OTHER FM NEWS |
The theme of International Women’s Day this year is #PressforProgress, a nod to the growing global movement of advocacy, activism and support surrounding gender parity and sexism. Our Past President Jenny Yeung attended #TRChangeMaker Summit organized by Thomson Reuter in Grand Hyatt Hong Kong on March 6, 2018. There were around 100 attendees from different industries with a common vision towards Diversity and Inclusion. Following a welcome remarks from Sanjeev Chatrath of Thomson Reuter, the exciting event was kicked off by Susan Martin Taylor - “From Conversation to Action, Become a Change Maker” and keynote from Jenny Cermak - “Lessons from Australian Companies Leading the Way”, then a discussion panel featuring “Driving Accountability to Develop a Diverse Pipeline”. After a nice networking break with a touch of light refreshment and rich coffee, we were much impassioned by the powerful keynote speaker, the Honorable Mrs. Anson Chan GBM, GCMG, CBE, JP, Former Chief Secretary for Administration HKSAR, on her topic “Blazing a Trial for Women”. The summit ended with another discussion panel - “Breaking the Glass and Bamboo Ceilings”, then a closing note from Kimberley Cole.
Organization bias still exists. It will take another 217 years to achieve gender parity. Let’s join hands now to promote diversity, cultivate trust, give care to people around us and make the change.
