BTC hosted a “Watch Party” for International Women’s Day last Wednesday - with staff able to join in seminars hosted by BTC and its parent company, Liberty Latin America.
This year’s International Women’s Day was celebrated under the campaign theme of “Embrace Equity,” which called on individuals and organisations around the world to make gender equity a critical part of our society’s DNA.
BTC CEO Sameer Bhatti told staff International Women’s Day was a day to reflect and recognise the many accomplishments and contributions of women to society and in the workplace.
“I’m proud of the strides that BTC has made to support and stand behind women,” Bhatti said.
“It is reflected in our population, with over 60 percent of our employee base being female, and the tide continues to shift as more than half of our senior leadership team comprises of women.”
A keynote address was given by Judge Asha Jackson of Atlanta, Georgia. “Equity requires us all to dig a little deeper, to look a little closer, to stretch ourselves out of our comfort zone, to sacrifice, to advocate, and to invest,” she said.
“Also be a woman who is authentic. It’s a daily practice of letting go who we think we are supposed to be and embracing who we actually are.”
