Vital Voices Global Mentoring Walk 2018

PRESS RELEASE – WOMEN Empowering Women: 145 Mentoring Walks to take place in commemoration of International Women’s Day in 60 countries worldwide

Saint Lucian Women leaders on Saturday will join thousands of women around the world who will be celebrating International Women’s Day with Vital Voices Global Partnership Network through their signature event – Global Mentoring Walk.

International Women’s Day is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural and political contributions of women around the world. International Women’s Day serves as a call to action to close the gap between progress and potential, in order to accelerate gender parity globally.

Celestial Self Development Centre will once again be local flag bearers for this global event for the fourth time. The walk is designed to bring together established women leaders and emerging women leaders to provide mentorship, guidance and support that will empower emerging women leaders to succeed. The walk is slated to begin at 3pm.
