Trinity Underwriting: Celebrating International Women’s Day by empowering female leadership and entrepreneurs.

TORONTO, ON, MARCH 8, 2024/insPRESS/ – International Women’s Day, observed on March 8^th each year, is a global celebration of women’s achievements, progress, and the ongoing fight for gender equality. This year’s theme, “Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress”, emphasizes the critical role women play in shaping a healthier, safer and more equal world for all.

Female Leadership: A Catalyst for change

Women’s leadership is essential across all sectors, from business to climate action. As the world struggles to navigate geopolitical conflicts, poverty, and climate change, solutions that empower women are crucial. Here’s why:

• Economic Empowerment: Women contribute significantly to economies worldwide, both through paid work and unpaid care work. Recognizing and valuing their contributions is vital. According to the United Nations’ UNWomen website (www.unwomen.org), if unpaid care work were assigned a monetary value, it would account for over 40% of GDP
• Closing the Gender Gap: The pandemic disproportionately affected women, with 54% of overall job losses attributed to them.
• Investing in Women: By prioritizing gender-responsive financing, public spending on essential services, and recognizing women’s economic contributions, we can accelerate progress toward gender equality

Our Commitment to Female Entrepreneurship

At Trinity, we acknowledge and celebrate women entrepreneurs. From our Chief Underwriting Officer, who is responsible for our overall profitability, to some of our senior underwriters and managers, we are proud to have women leaders who we can look to for guidance and inspiration. Commitment for equal women’s rights should extend beyond financial support; it’s about creating opportunities, fostering networks, and empowering women to thrive. There are many ways to support women, whether it is in the workplace or at home, and we encourage, or rather, challenge you to join us in giving back this month and showing your support to your female colleagues.
