Embracing Equality: DESS®’s Commitment on International Women's Day

Celebrating International Women's Day at DESS^®

In an era where the call for equality resonates more loudly than ever, DESS^® stands firmly in support of this fundamental human right. As we navigate through the complexities of the modern world, the importance of equality, especially gender equality, cannot be overstressed. It is not just a matter of fairness or morality but a crucial underpinning for a prosperous and sustainable future for all. At DESS^®, we believe that honoring and uplifting women is not only essential on International Women's Day but every day.

The 8th of March, International Women's Day, offers us an opportunity to reflect on our progress, celebrate achievements, and acknowledge the road ahead in the quest for gender equality. This year, DESS^® went above and beyond to commemorate this significant day by orchestrating a unique event that not only celebrated the women within our company but also reached out to embrace and learn from the wider community.

DESS^®'s Collaboration with Fundació Vicente Ferrer

In a special collaboration, we invited Fundació Vicente Ferrer, an NGO dedicated to combating poverty in South-Eastern India, to our premises for a compelling awareness session. Their unwavering commitment to supporting individuals in vulnerable conditions, particularly in rural settings, resonates with our core values. The chosen topic, 'Project for the Social and Economic Inclusion and Integration of Single Mothers in Vulnerable Situations', was particularly significant, shedding light on the critical issue of gender equality and how it intersects with various societal dimensions.

Understanding Gender Equality with DESS^®

The presentation provided by the Delegate of Fundació Vicente Ferrer was enlightening, offering a deep dive into their transformative work in India and a broader discussion on gender disparities prevalent across different societal facets. It was an eye-opening experience that enabled the DESS^® team to gain valuable insights and foster a deeper understanding of the numerous challenges and injustices that continue to pervade our world.

Networking and Solidarity: DESS^®'s Collaborative Lunch

Following this enlightening session, our staff joined the NGO's representatives for a collective lunch, fostering a space for dialogue and reflection. This gathering was not only a celebration of the strides made toward gender equality but also a moment to forge stronger connections and solidarity. The choice of the local catering service 'Què dinem', owned and operated by two women for the past 17 years, was deliberate and symbolic. By engaging their services, not only on this special occasion but as part of our routine, we underscore our commitment to supporting female entrepreneurship and contributing to a more equitable business landscape.
