“A breaking down of outdated autocratic leadership styles, and a fresh new nurturing and caring approach to leadership and staff management.” - David White, CEO “I believe women’s empowerment will create or
should create a better family life where men can be better fathers and husbands as both sexes share household responsibilities and chores. I think it will also create more opportunities for their children and give their
children a broader perspective of the working environment, the world and provide them with some good insights into the different challenges that men and women face in the working environment, their different
coping mechanisms and the skill sets they bring as opposing sexes.”- Colin Long, Executive Financial
Planner “The empowerment of women continues to have a positive impact on our society and in our country. When our society, our economy and our communities prosper, then we all stand to reap the rewards. Men should not be
ignorant of, nor intimated by, women empowerment. Quite the opposite, men must embrace, support and influence the empowerment of women. We as men have a responsibility to teach our sons and daughters about gender equity, respect and love for one another - and to constantly remember that we all have the ability to help others â€" to be good
and to do good.” - Alan Khan, Media and radio personality “The power of 52% of the population harnessed and added to our economy!” - Pete Swanepoel, Optometrist n Please send your opinions or comments on current issues to
