After the success of our first ever Student Leadership Board for International Women's Day 2019, we are delighted to announce that we are once again collaborating with a group of bright and ambitious female students committed to gender equality for this year's event.
Meet the International Women's Day Student Leadership Board

She is excited to be on the Board for the event as she wants to be able to help aspiring women like herself to gain the confidence they need and help them with finding the path to their desired goal.
She sees the importance of young women networking and collaborating together as a great stepping stone for this. Through this event, Jahnina is excited to work with other passionate young-women in creating a platform in which girls can meet others like themselves, become motivated and inspired and to see their true worth and what they can achieve.
