In celebration of International Women’s Day 2024, GCOPD collaborated with Embers Ignite Inc. to conduct a Social Media Campaign to spotlight the achievements and resilience of women with disabilities. The social media campaign entailed the personal and professional achievements of five diverse women with varying types of disabilities. The goal of the campaign was to highlight the success stories of women with disabilities who have demonstrated resilience in coping with their disabilities, the stigma and discriminated perpetuated by society, and their tremendous efforts in working towards gender equality for all persons.
The second component of the social media campaign sought to highlight five women entrepreneurs with disabilities. The goal of this was to spotlight the persistence and dedication of women with disabilities who overcame societal challenges and barriers to establish successful businesses and economic empowerment.
