Women are found in all spheres of life. In governments(Women In Power), Tech and Innovation, Arts, Sports, Medicine, Entertainment and Business(Entrepreneurs).
However, in our world today, very few organizations have recognized women.
According to Forbes, General Motors Company is one of the few global businesses that have no gender pay gap. GMC has ranked extraordinarily for its gender equality practices. For that, we thank you GMC.

Let’s remember mothers, wives, trafficked women and survivors, women behind bars, women searching for entry-level jobs, women in male-dominated careers, women starting their own businesses, gender pay gap, underevaluation of work done by women, etc.
Women deserve the best and need every support to flourish. Remember, when you empower a woman, you empower a nation. We need your support and a VOTE for YES to women’s growth and development.
