It has been a pleasure working with my team consisting of both new and seasoned board members. The year has been challenging in various aspects and in particular with the economic downturn, we have had to work doubly hard to ensure that our programmes continue to run while taking on new projects to serve a wider community. SCWO is grateful for the continued support it receives from all quarters. 1. Term Highlights 1.1 International Women’s Day 2009 – Successful Women, Successful Economies Successful Women, Successful Economies was the theme for IWD 2009 and was as an ideal follow up to IWD 2008’s theme Women: Engines of Growth. This was also in preparation for APEC WLN 2009 of which SCWO is deeply involved. Women: Engines of Growth highlighted the prominent role women play in the economy and society. This year we highlighted how important it is to have women as decision-makers and how women contributed to the success of businesses, societies and the economies. Our main objective was to increase the awareness of business leaders, human resource personnel, government officials, women leaders and individuals, to see the importance of having gender-sensitive human resource policies and nurture women in their sectors to grow as leaders.
