Happy International Women’s Day!
Quick quotes from Women Leaders for International Women’s Day
On March 8, the whole world celebrated International Women’s Day. This year, the campaign theme is #balanceforbetter, encouraging everyone help create balance towards a better working world. Everyone has a part to play, and this theme provides a unified direction to guide and galvanize continuous collective action.
Asia P3 Hub believes that complex challenges in the world today cannot be solved by one sector alone. The different sectors — business, government, academia and non-governmental organisations must work together and harness the power of diverse resources to tackle the problems we face. And to create a balanced world, we believe that partnerships are essential!
Using the “hands out” balance pose for a strong call for others to take action, here are what some women leaders in our community have to say about #balanceforbetter and #balanceinpartnerships:
“Balance reminds us that ‘equity’ is a beautiful success factor when collaborating, especially across cultures, types of people, generations and organisations.”
~Christy Davis, Executive Director, Asia P3 Hub“Balance is designing partnerships to co-create conscious, intentional relationships and impact.”
~Elfarina Zaid, Director, Elf Coaching“Collaboration drives innovation and scale. Only through partnership that we can make systemic change.”
~Susan Sy, Head of Family Advisory & Philanthropy Services, UBS“True collaboration requires partners to balance their motivation and contribution.”
~Meliza Aberin, Assistant National Director, World Vision Thailand
#balanceforbetter campaign does not end on International Women’s Day. We must continuously inspire people and promote collective action towards a better and balanced world.
