Women's Day Celebration Event - World leadership is moving from Mars to Venus. The Rise of the Woman, for better or worse?


Event:	Women's Day Celebration Event - World leadership is moving from Mars to Venus. The Rise of the Woman, for better or worse?
Description:	On National Women's Day, we are reminded of how many female leaders there are in our society. The empowerment of women continues as we see Theresa May as our new Prime Minister of the UK, Angela Merkel as Chancellor in Germany and Hilary Clinton as the possible future President of the USA. The South African Chamber of Commerce UK will commemorate SA National Women's Day with a panel discussion. In Post-Apartheid South Africa, National Women's Day has been celebrated to pay tribute to the +20,000 women who marched to the Union Building on 9 August 1956 protesting against discriminatory pass laws. "You strike a woman, you strike a rock", a phrase which has come to represent women's courage and strength in South Africa. This was true in 1956 and it remains true in 2016. Women's rights are human rights. Women are taking on significantly greater roles in business and society, although the opportunity to do so in some areas is still restricted. Could the times be changing? Join us for what will be a riveting discussion with a broad spectrum panel of business women based here in the UK. A celebration of our history will be marked and followed with canapÃ©s and drinks. MEN ALSO INVITED TO ATTEND
