Women Go Beyond – Allies In Change – Episode 5
As our flagship women’s empowerment programme, ‘Women Go Beyond’, continues its 20 year journey into another transformative year, we invited some of the women and men who play crucial roles as allies of WGB, to sit down for a series of conversations and share their experiences through the years.
In the fourth episode of our ‘Allies in Change’ series, the WGB Champion and Counsellor at Linea Aqua – Naiwala, Madira Chathumali speaks to Nishara Priyangi, Senior Executive in Social Sustainability at MAS Active – Sleekline, about the importance of mental well-being, especially in the case of women where they are prone to experience bouts of mental strain at different points in their lives.
The Women Go Beyond programme was created in 2003 as an effort to address gaps in resources, skills, rights and needs for women, who make up the majority of the MAS workforce. The programme has now evolved significantly and focuses on empowering women and building equality among all genders, aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles.
