The Italian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and Macao, in collaboration with the Women's Leadership Network Committee (WLN), is pleased to present the After-Work Talk: "Women's Voice 2023 - Impact of Fashion in the Society". The event will be held on Tuesday, October 10, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Italian Chamber of Commerce Office.
Women's Leadership Network (WLN) was founded on the idea of inspiring, empowering, and innovating. As the pandemic moves slowly behind us, we need to think about how to re-focus on the future norm for women and our gender equity in society. Our first in-person event, "Women's Voice 2023 - Impact of Fashion in the Society", engages a fashion gender champion, covered by many social media posts and press coverages in English, Chinese and Italian for her audacious female-led brand JENNYANG. In Hong Kong, we have seen many women influencers and leaders lobby corporations and government agencies to promote equal pay and expand maternity leave coverage in corporations and businesses. Jenny has dedicated shoes for women of domestic abuse and other more serious causes.
How does fashion impact society, enhance human life as it gives an opportunity to be independent in your thinking, helps to maintain positive self-esteem, or is it merely a form of entertainment? "Has fashion made us all stronger?"
As of 2016, the ratio of women and men in the workforce in Hong Kong was virtually tied (49% women, 51% men) due to the higher education level of both genders and a mix of both traditional and western cultures. How do we continue this journey more sustainably to boost women's confidence, break down more barriers and make a long-lasting impact? JENNY wants to share with the audience her thoughts and her journey of self-discovery and empowerment from a small child in a village in Anhui, China.
Women's voice has grown from demanding simple rights to vote in the early 1900s to women's empowerment nowadays through gender lens investing in sectors that could mobilize more capital to women's education, childcare, healthcare and so on.
In the 10th anniversary event of 2023 for WLN on October 10th, 2023, we will be focusing on gender equity in Asia. We each have overcome stumbling blocks in our lives and careers learning something very unique from it. We'd like to bring all that to our audience into the discussion to share, inspire and empower the next generations of members of the Italian Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong and Macao.
