Recently, I took part in the World Business Women Day 2023 WBWDay2023
It was a huge experience and I have spent a fair amount of time over the last few days reflecting on the event which took place in several countries around the world.
Our challenge was to answer the following question: ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ก๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ค๐๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ, ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ญ๐๐ค๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ง ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ/๐ฌ๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ/๐ซ๐๐ ๐ข๐จ๐ง?
All ideas will be included in the Savvitas White Paper, and will be shared widely via W20, G7, UN, and many policy makers and media channels. That’s HUGE!
My one action was an overhaul of financial institutions to achieve equity of access and treatment. Jane James ๐ญ๐ถ๐โค๏ธ gave me a perfect example of one issue that would be resolved with such an overhaul regarding the negative assessment of women for business finance whilst on maternity leave. Thank you ๐

And, as for you chaps, no wiggling out of this conversation. You have daughters, wives, mums, nieces, female business colleagues etc, I know you have great ideas too! ๐ก Ideas that could change the world for the better.
