Women Go Beyond – Allies In Change – Episode 2
As our flagship women’s empowerment programme, ‘Women Go Beyond’, celebrates its 20th 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 second episode of our ‘Allies in Change’ series, Asanga Warnasuriya, General Manager – Marketing at Linea Aqua and Shamal Boyagoda, Director – Business at MAS Intimates, speak about their experience over the years, in creating inclusive workplaces in workstreams such as planning, manufacturing, and operations.
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. Now in its 20th year, the programme has 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.
