Celebrating Ethiopia's Women in Business and Beyond

In every corner of society, women are leading the way. From the working-class individuals in the hurried markets to the students striving for knowledge in the classroom, from the stay-at-home moms to C-Suite ladies, the advocates championing change in their communities, each woman is worth celebrating in her own right. We don’t see womanhood as something to be overcome with ‘resilience’ or ‘determination’— buzzwords common around this time of year. We perceive womanhood as a wellspring of inherent strength and profound wisdom, a foundation upon which societies have been built and nurtured. It is a testament to every woman’s creativity, intelligence, and leadership, qualities that should be celebrated and leveraged for societal progress. Rather than framing the female experience as one riddled with hurdles, as it may well be, today, we champion embracing and amplifying women’s unique perspectives and capabilities in every sphere of life. This approach not only honors the intrinsic value of women but also paves the way for a more inclusive and equitable world where every individual’s potential can be fully realized without the constraints of outdated stereotypes or expectations.
