On International Women's Day: When Women Give, Girls Gain
It has been said that standing on the shoulders of others doesn’t make us tall.
But it does support us, raise us up a bit higher and let us see farther.
And for this, as the sun came up the morning after International Women’s Day, girls everywhere were grateful.
The 2026 IWD theme was Give to Gain, and among the many ways this resonated with Être was the deep impact we feel when mentors give so girls can gain.
What we feel when…
Companies GIVE ACCESS to boardrooms so girls GAIN opportunities to speak their mind,
Women GIVE ADVICE hard-won in the workplace so girls GAIN info before they get there, or
Leaders GIVE ANSWERS in books, so girls GAIN the ability to ask Qs across the globe.
It's what we feel when partners like Hello Sunshine offers the next gen innovative board roles, the Golden Globe Foundation lines up rockstar mentors to meet or new friends like ABC and LoveShackFancy save seats for girls to talk about cool collabs (yep, stay tuned for upcoming boardroom pop-ups)!
