Press-for-progress!

I-WIL-B (Inspiring Women in Leadership and Business) was formed in 2014 and it was understood that our network group would be one of the leading voices for #genderparity. I-WIL-B is a multi-national network group for Women in Leadership and Business which promotes women empowerment principals for the advancement of women. As we celebrate International Women’s Day, our effort to create awareness and elevate conversation about developing the mindset that promoting gender parity intensifies.

It is so exciting to be part of the International Women’s Day theme for 2018 #pressforprogress which has been met with plenty enthusiasm coupled with a lot of male faces joining the campaign, which is a treat to see making this interesting time indeed.

At the wake of an all time high for global pro-women campaigns worldwide ralling behind popular movements such as the #metoo and #time’sup movements, addressing the sexual abuse scandals perpetrated by influential men in the entertainment and film industries.

As a commitment to the #pressforprogress campaign, I-WIL-B will be hosting a #pressforprogress workshop on World Intellectual Property Day 26^th April, which will be free to members. The workshop includes a UNISA conflict management workshop, Productivity for SMMEs and Small Enterprise Development agency programs available to grow your business. This will be supported by a “Women in Business’ Research survey to be facilitated by UNISA Research lecturers which will give insights to the needs, challenges and aspirations of women in business as well as in the workplace. This is a unique report that will inform our activities and planning for ‘Women in Business’ going forward.

Our call to action for all women is to join our movement to create a voice for ‘Women in Business’ and to champion the theme #pressforprogress. Visit our Facebook page https://facebook.com/BossBabesDaily/ or email us i-wil-b@groupmai.com to join our network group.

To companies and leading organizations, I-WIL-B is calling on all industry leaders to consider including #genderparity clauses in contractual agreements or service level agreements that promote for gender equity in procurement of goods and services, as well as all government service delivery good governance codes. The time for action is upon us! #time’sup #metoo #pressforprogress.
