“International Women’s Day is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the phenomenal women who are doing great things within their respective fields and acknowledging how far we have come. It is also a day, where it is important to talk about the much-needed work still necessary, and how far we are yet to go in achieving gender equality.”
Katariina Reissar AIH | IoH Youth Council
“International Women’s Day to me is a celebration and appreciation of women across the world. It’s a day when women are recognised and we show support to each other for everything that we have accomplished.”

“International Women’s Day makes me remember all the strong women in my life who have helped me be the best person I can be.”
Vandana Dass | Davenport Solicitors
“It’s a time to celebrate what women have achieved so far and it reminds me that there’s still more to do. I believe the saying ‘be the change you wish to see in the world’ and that’s exactly what I aspire to do.”
Marissa Jayamanne FIH | IoH Sri Lanka Branch Chair
“International Women’s Day has significance in many different ways. It signifies recognition of all women, appreciation of their contribution towards the whole of mankind, strength and realisation of all their hidden leadership skills. Women who break the barriers march forward and reach their targets by compassionate thinking and strong leadership. From a professional perspective, I feel this day helps to support and shine a light on the amazing women in business, constantly pushing to achieve equality, challenging gender bias and proving the amazing contribution diversity plays in the workplace.”
Sarah Tester MIH | Lifehouse Spa & Hotel
“International Women’s Day is a chance to celebrate all that Women have achieved throughout history, but more importantly highlight how far there still is to go to achieve gender parity, so that all women worldwide have the opportunities they deserve.”
Mara Lopez-Casado AIH | IoH Events Administrator
“It is an opportunity to celebrate women’s achievements, how we have become stronger and more powerful in society, but also to raise awareness about the inequality that we still suffer in some ways.”
Yvonne Joseph AIH | Hospitality Career Mentor/advisor, entrepreneur and Top 30 Hospitality Influencer in Nigeria
“International Women’s Day is a remarkable celebration for me. It’s a day to remind the world of the enormous capabilities that women embody. A day to acknowledge the achievements of women in various fields and sectors, no matter how small or great they may be.
Sarah Peters MIH | IoH Head of Commercial Development & Events
“International Women’s Day is about celebrating all the successes and achievements of women across the world. The big-hitting headlines as well as the little personal successes that we keep to ourselves. It’s about empowering our young women to be who they want to be and supporting the choices they make. And, most certainly, it’s about inspiring younger girls to believe in themselves and live their lives how they want without prejudice or fear.”
