International Women’s Day: Celebrating the Women of Yeo & Yeo

International Women’s Day (IWD) is, first and foremost, a day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It is also an important day to raise awareness, forge progress, educate and inspire communities, and highlight the significance of gender equity.

Here are some ways to mark the day – whether with friends, families, colleagues, or the global community.

• Donate to female-focused charities: Donations can make a huge and long-lasting difference to the advancement of women and girls worldwide.
• Reach out to a friend: Send a text, email, or hand-written note to each of your female friends to let them know what you admire about them and how much you appreciate them.
• Spread the news: Share posts about IWD on social. Here are some ready-to-post resources direct from the IWD website.
• Wear purple: Show your support by wearing purple, one of this year’s campaign colors, signifying justice and dignity.

Yeo & Yeo is incredibly proud of our family-friendly culture and ability to attract and retain women. Our workforce is more than 54% female, and the number of women in leadership positions exceeds 50%, well above the industry average in professional service firms. Today and every day, we thank our women for providing valuable insights that uplift our clients and communities.

We encourage you to take time to reflect on the achievements of the women in your life, and let’s continue to push for women’s leadership. Follow us on social as we celebrate our women that lead throughout the year, sharing their insights and stories.
