Hello
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to our February update, our first Newsletter created to keep you all informed of the changing landscape of Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DE&I), locally, nationally and internationally through the work we do at Diversity Marketplace.
There is so much going on in the world, which puts a negative slant on DE&I. However, great DE&I work starts with the basic notion of kindness, respect, valuing the dignity of others and creating a world that is ‘absent of fear and judgement’.
There is lots of great DE&I work happening across the globe that is having a positive impact, and this is growing. We just need to shine a light on it!
It’s been great to connect with so many fantastic people and organisations as we all try to build more inclusive spaces locally, nationally and internationally. And with this newsletter, we hope to keep you all in the loop on everything we’ve been up to!
In this newsletter, we will share with you:
Judging awards - locally, nationally and internationally.
Diversity awards in Pakistan! Never!
INTERNATIONALLY
Pakistani Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Benchmark (GDEIB) Awards.
Judging the 2024 Pakistani GDEIB Awards has transformed my perception of gender equity in Pakistan. The last few years have seen impressive strides in gender equality and inclusive diversity initiatives, including world-class campaigns tackling issues for girls as well as women in the workplace. I sincerely congratulate and commend the dedication, innovation, and scale of programs by organizations across Pakistan seeking genuine impact in people's lives.
Though challenges remain, the sheer quality of efforts from passionate groups and individuals signals hope and optimism that with this momentum, Pakistan can make rapid advancements in equality that serve as an international model. I feel honoured to witness and judge such outstanding work firsthand.
NATIONALLY
