From Presidents and Prime Ministers to church Pastors and school Principals, you can find women leading the way for the future in their respective roles in different countries. This is a promising shift when you consider that just a few decades ago, women were expected to set their expectations for their lives based on a traditional model where men were the sole breadwinners. There were limited opportunities for a woman\u2019s education outside of areas that were tied into caretaking or domestic roles. Cooking, cleaning, caring for children, teaching and nursing were all given the societal nod of approval as women\u2019s roles and in business, women were more likely to hold a position as an assistant with clerical duties than one as a Manager. In family-run businesses, the onus of carrying on the family\u2019s legacy usually rested on the shoulders of sons.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><div id=\"antig-975976330\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>As time progressed, the narrative needed to change as the old economic model was no longer viable. To maintain a family and reach financial goals, it became necessary for more women to enter the workforce. Women could work in any field but advancing in careers typically held by men would often prove to be a challenge. There would be an invisible ceiling at times where women, even with a boatload of certifications and qualifications, would not be afforded the promotions to lead departments let alone run entire corporations. Making matters worse, women holding the same professional titles as men were paid less than their peers in the workplace. Proving competence in the corporate world did not happen overnight and there are still huge gaps evident as less women are seen in boardrooms holding C-level titles like CEO or CFO.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><div id=\"antig-1040140465\" class=\"antig-content_3 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiguabarbudaculinarymonth.com\/\" aria-label=\"CM key_WEB 1300x300_1\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1301\/h:301\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1301\/h:301\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 1301w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:69\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:237\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:178\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1301\" height=\"301\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>As industries expanded, there was a growing demand for the human resources capable of propelling companies\u2019 financial success.

As a mother and a business leader, the understanding of being flexible and accommodating proved valuable especially in times of adversity and was tested over the last two years in the pandemic,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On this International Women\u2019s Day, we celebrate the contributions made by women around the globe and their social, cultural, political and professional achievements alongside the accomplishments of our own team. We recognize the strength and importance of our women &#8211; many of whom have been pillars in this pandemic for their families, providing sustenance, medical support, academic support and juggling working from home with an ever-growing list of duties, responsibilities and obligations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Brydens Antigua will continue leading by example with fair and equitable hiring practices and we will continue supporting community outreach initiatives that will ultimately lead us to a world that is more equitable and inclusive &#8211; free of negative stereotypes, harmful biases and discrimination. When women face fewer obstacles and barriers to achieving their goals, we will likely see increased contributions to innovation with more women involved in Management as well as Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) roles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We acknowledge the reality that there is still much to be done to improve women\u2019s lives overall but Brydens Antigua is definitely on board with breaking the bias in 2022 and beyond as we have been setting precedents to empower more women over the last 58 years. Supporting womens\u2019 development and gender-inclusive job creation, we believe, is progressive and critical for our long-term survival and success in this ever-changing global economic climate.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-147771\" src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:672\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Womens-Day-Article.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"672\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:672\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Womens-Day-Article-scaled.jpg 672w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:197\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Womens-Day-Article-scaled.jpg 197w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:708\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Womens-Day-Article-scaled.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:708\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Womens-Day-Article-scaled.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:708\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Womens-Day-Article-scaled.jpg 1344w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:696\/h:1061\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Womens-Day-Article-scaled.jpg 696w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:708\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Womens-Day-Article-scaled.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:276\/h:420\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Womens-Day-Article-scaled.jpg 276w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:708\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Womens-Day-Article-scaled.jpg 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-230387775\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hillary Clinton was once quoted as saying \u201cwomen are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world.\u201d Given that the economic empowerment of women is directly tied to realizing women\u2019s rights and gender equality, it seems like an obvious solution to ensure that more women are equipped with the tools needed to be employed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":147767,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-147766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.1 (Yoast SEO v24.1) -
