At Lioness Tile, we are proud of the incredibly talented and creative team of women that form our core. But there is so much more to do, and we as a society need to collectively challenge dated notions and create a level playing field for women and girls everywhere. This international women’s day, we share our thoughts and initiative toward this much-needed change and the road ahead.
Working for Equality - Celebrating Womanhood
At Lioness Tile, we are proud of the incredibly talented and creative team of women that form our core. But there is so much more to do, and we as a society need to collectively challenge dated notions and create a level playing field for women and girls everywhere. This international women’s day, we share our thoughts and initiative toward this much-needed change and the road ahead.
Despite significant strides in women’s progress made by generations over time, the reality is still grim and gender inequality remains a sore thumb to our social development. As per UNDP Global Inequality Index (GII) report, India ranked 129 out of 189 countries. The report notes that a majority of both Indian men and women still hold biases against women, indicating a widespread patriarchal prejudice. “In India, 11.7% of Parliamentary seats are held by women (compared to 17.1% in South Asia). And 39% of adult women have reached at least a secondary level of education (39.9%in South Asia) compared to 63.5 percent of their male counterparts,” the report said.
Lioness Tile joined the ‘B-Corp Movement'’ last year because of our passion to use our business as a force for good in the world - we’re proud of the fact that fiercely capable women form over 50% of our management and 75% of our artisan team. We stand committed to movements like ‘We the change - Women Together’, where a group of B Corp Women CEOs recognize their collective power and responsibility to groom and promote the next generation of women leaders.
At Lioness Tile, we have our own pride of women leaders who have all come together on this day to tell the world that an equal world is an enabled world, and we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day. And let’s not forget, the importance of male allies cannot be stressed enough. Together, let’s celebrate and recognize the talent and potential of the women in our personal and professional lives. Let's all be #EachforEqual.
