My story is a symphony of boldness and resilience. Challenges transformed into opportunities, triumphs engraved and lessons embraced with gratitude.

Being a woman and mother of a child with an intellectual disability is a fight for the dignity and well-being of these exceptional people. Love, courage, perseverance and determination are the keys to success.

Dear sisters, let’s give each other the flowers that we so rightfully deserve today and every day. Let’s acknowledge our mutual efforts at all times while we still can.

I am a woman. I am a leader. I am a fighter, fiercely loyal. I am positive change. In my soft round edges, my mind cuts the sharpest. I firmly believe that small everyday actions create a ripple effect and all should be allowed and encouraged to contribute!

Any woman should be courageous enough to follow her dreams. Anything is possible with passion, developing new skills and perseverance. And… with a relaxed attitude, while enjoying the journey.

I believe the quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence….VLISCO is my choice because I believe in "QUALITY" NOT quantity.

I am every woman who seeks to find a place among the greats of this world. I am at the service of others because I understood that this is true greatness.

In March, we call for action: Let's work towards equity. Let's build a world where equality is the norm, not the exception, where equality will no longer be a struggle, but a reality.

Even if you have a handicap, you can still succeed in life.

As a Congolese afropolitan woman in technology, my story resonates with every woman who is focused on self-determination, self-improvement and building unity among women.

Thanks to the skills I acquired working with Vlisco, I was able to expand my activities in the clothing industry in Rwanda. I founded a garment manufacturing company, which aims not only to create jobs for young people, but also to provide them with learning opportunities.

Empower your style, embrace your strength, celebrate the essence of womanhood. Feel empowered, unapologetic, and gracefully own your journey. Because every woman is a masterpiece.

We - Women, Mothers, Educators, and opinion leaders -, let's transmit the same values to girls and boys so that our voices resonate everywhere for a better world.

There comes a sense of responsibility with being a woman, I embrace it with all the qualities I have been given at birth. I enhance it with my sense of urgency, accountability and zeal in transforming every single endeavour I embark on.

Together, let's unveil the facade of those who, by day, promote women's rights with two pawns, only to retract ten by night.

I am every woman who has been a victim of some form of violence. My story is one of resilience. The kind of resilience that can only be learned by working with other women.

What you wear defines you. I celebrate women through fashion, helping them to regain confidence. Every woman deserves to feel confident, admired, and proud.

My value doesn't depend on my achievements, but on who I am. I am strong, beautiful and brave! I'm a woman of impact and I love myself just the way I am.

Never rely on someone, you should be able to create your own happiness to live your life the way you want it. Respect, accept and embrace the differences in people.

I realise every year the privilege of being a woman and the essential place we have. Let us honour each other and continue to work together, so that everyone can achieve their full potential.

A vision emerged when I was very young, revealing a mission: to empower women and girls, to restore or instill in them a sense of joy through perseverance, feminine solidarity, and resilience.

My story is one of courage and perseverance. As the first female forklift driver at TSG, it is my hope that my journey underscores the urgent need for more inclusive opportunities in the male dominated industry that I find myself in.

This version of me wasn’t built overnight. I persevered through inner demons, deadlocks and insecurities, while I said to myself: mirror, mirror on the wall, I’ll always get up after I fall, and whether I run, walk or have to crawl, I’ll set my goals and achieve them all.

Don’t exist just for yourself. It is to embody a form of exemplarity, to become a model, a source of inspiration. Our world needs reassuring faces. Let's be those faces.

My journey has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the unique value each person brings to the table regardless of their background or gender. I believe small everyday actions create a ripple effect, hence I'm committed to playing my part in co-creating a future where every contribution is valued.

A woman must also live for herself. Don't allow anything or anyone to hold your smile hostage.

The best way to bloom is to invest in oneself. The more we learn, the more we improve, and the more we succeed.

Ladies, you hold value. Never doubt yourselves; pursue your dreams, go for it, and above all, find fulfillment and happiness.

Mine is a story of unwavering determination, self-confidence, and a generous sprinkle of adventure! Through a rollercoaster of ups and downs, I've learned that every turn holds valuable lessons and hidden blessings.

Woman I am… and if sometimes I doubt myself, I know I'm resilient and inspiring, and I'm never afraid to take on new challenges. Let’s keep progressing and enjoy this special occasion.
