International Women’s Day is a time to recognize and celebrate the social, economic, political, and cultural achievements by women. Here at Goemans, we strive to celebrate women’s achievements, educate and raise awareness for equality and encourage women everywhere. The theme for International Women’s Day this year is #EmbraceEquity.
As humans, we are all unique. Embracing equity means that we can recognize the uniqueness between each of us, and provide tools, support and resources based on our needs. Equity means creating an inclusive world, and at Goemans we are embracing equity to forge positive change within our company, and the world. Our Goemans family is a diverse group of talented individuals. We aim to create an environment for inclusivity, positivity and support. We recognize all of the amazing women that make our Goemans family whole, and this year, we wanted to shine a light on what International Women’s Day means to them.

"In contradiction to a world that focuses on the physical, like Maya Angelou says, 'I would like to be a woman known as an intelligent woman, a courageous woman, a loving woman who teaches by being.' That is my mission, that is my legacy."
Sang Nguyen, HR Generalist
“International Women’s Day to me means equal employment opportunities, equal pay for equal work, and improved working conditions for women in the workplace. On International Women’s Day, we acknowledge the women throughout history that have paved the way so women like me can achieve their dreams, both professionally and socially.
Olivia Carrasco, Supply and Demand Specialist, Goemans
“International Women’s Day means so much to me, not only as a woman, but as a woman who has decided to live their life unconventionally. I look around me and see these magnificent women doing great things for themselves and their communities. Their hard work and accomplishments inspire me to push myself in every aspect of my life, personal and professional. At Goemans, I’m surrounded by women who are go-getters, hustlers, powerhouses, and it’s an honour to be able to share my space and my own successes with them every day.”
Here at Goemans, we #EmbraceEquity, today and every day. Our Goeman’s family will continue to build inclusive communities for women everywhere.
