Why International Women’s Day is important to you?
“ To create awareness of the gender gap that still exists and to drive action to close it. A recent McKinsey research shows that the Netherlands scores lowest in Western-Europe when it comes to gender parity in four areas: number of paid working hours, average monthly income, representation in leadership positions, and students in bèta-education. We still have some work to do! “
