We are taking a moment to celebrate women the world over this International Women's Day.
Bohemia is a 100% women owned and run business and we are acutely aware of the challenges faced by working women as we continue to spin the plates of motherhood, care of elderly parents, household management, dogs, cats, hamsters, the list goes on!
The gender pay gap in the UK is still 7.7%, while globally for every $1 earned by a man a woman makes 51 cents. When it comes to funding, only 2% of venture capital went to women founded businesses in 2021.
At Bohemia we have always believed in the principles shared by International Women's Day, 'a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated.'
The world is a different place to when I first started out in business in the 1980's, when sexist comments and condescending attitudes were an everyday occurrence, but we still have a long way to travel to arrive at a fairer and kinder world for all.
We continue to strive for freedom and equality for all the women we encounter on this journey and champion our sisters not just today but everyday.
