Today, Monday March 8, Cityzens Giving Young Leaders around the world marked International Women’s Day through a series of initiatives to celebrate the power of soccer to uplift and empower women and girls in local communities.
Activities kicked off with two forums on Cisco Webex, connecting inspiring female young leaders from over 20 cities to discuss women in soccer, bias, inequality, and positive role models.
Annabel Finch, Community Outreach Lead Coach, City in the Community said: “This morning we hosted a workshop for Young Leaders to discuss International Women’s Day and what this means to them. It was inspiring to hear the heart-warming stories, thoughts and opinions that encouraged these Young Leaders to challenge stereotypes and misconceptions they have faced.
