There are quotes here that could become slogans to help women rise up. It is 2020 and there are still barriers – external and internal – that keep women out of important aspects in the property world.
It is certainly time for a perspective shift and, as one of our interviewees says, it is not only men and the boychild who need to be shown a new way but also women and girls.
We are in this together, so let’s build the bridges and show how the property world can lead the way with strong and compassionate – in their own ways – women and men leading the way. It’s so last century to suppress anyone’s shine – including our own.
Happy Women’s Day
