Celebrate Women’s Achievements!
March 8 is International Women's Day, celebrated globally and annually to acknowledge the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. This year's campaign theme of #ChooseToChallenge encourages people of all genders to show their commitment to building an inclusive world.
At PATA, we stand in solidarity with gender equality. And so, we invited two recent PATA Face of the Future winners to share their stories and celebrate the power of women together. They were asked to answer a set of questions posed by team members from the PATA Internship programme, which we collated into impactful short videos.
