New York, N.Y., March 08, 2023 — On this year’s International Women’s Day, USCIB joins the global community in recognizing the critical contributions of women in every aspect of society and applauds the theme for this year’s International Women’s Day: DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality. Gender equality is critical for social justice and is key to more productive resilient economies.
USCIB and its members have long championed the critical role of women’s education, employment and entrepreneurship for their own and their families’ health and well-being, as well as for the health and competitiveness of the societies and economies in which we live and do business.
“USCIB is proud that women across USCIB’s membership have made untold contributions to the digital world. These accomplishments have been made despite setbacks and barriers in a field that has traditionally been challenging for women,” said USCIB President and CEO Peter Robinson.
“Through our engagement in the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the International Organization of Employers (IOE) and Business at OECD (BIAC), we will continue to work with our business counterparts around the world to address the barriers that continue to confront women and girls, in the digital space and beyond, and to advance the opportunities that will allow them to thrive and our enterprises to prosper,” added Robinson.
