Organize a panel
A great way to engage local businesses is to host a diverse panel of business owners to discuss this year’s UN Women theme, gender equity in the workplace, and best practices for other business owners and corporations in attendance. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these panels can be held virtually.
Know someone who's championed gender equality?
Award them with a certificate in recognition of advancing progress and empowering women and girls in the local community.
