KUALA LUMPUR, March 9 (Bernama) -- Mary Kay Inc Chief Legal Officer and Chief Diversity Officer, Julia Simon in a statement on International Women’s Day 2021 said ‘empowered women empower women’ belief served as the foundation on which all work, internally and externally, rested at Mary Kay Inc.
This mantra inspires Mary Kay’s tireless efforts to hire and promote women in leadership positions, support the Women’s Empowerment Principles established by UN Women and UN Global Compact, and develop entrepreneurship and economic opportunities to increase women’s participation.
“If we lift one, we lift all. On International Women’s Day (IWD) 2021 that message rings especially poignant.
“The theme of this year’s IWD is ‘Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world’,” said Simon.
“While I always wish to encourage our peers in the private and public sectors to amplify women’s voices, it is just as important to challenge ourselves as we challenge others.
“In 2019, Mary Kay launched in partnership with six UN agencies, the Women’s Entrepreneurship Accelerator, a strategic initiative designed to inspire, educate, and empower women entrepreneurs around the world.”
She continues: “Our mission is to remove barriers to economic freedom for countless women in underserved areas over the next 10 years. Our hope is that, in turn, their example as leaders will empower the next generation of girls.”
