What stood out to me as a great starting point was the interactive discussion led by Ms. Josie Christodoulou, the Commissioner for Gender Equality, who encouraged us to share our thoughts on how we can promote equality in the workplace and in society in general. My sincere congratulations go out to Donna, Terri and the whole Emerald Zebra Team for this event.
