The MFO Celebrates International Women’s Day

 

MFO personnel came together on March 8th to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women during a series of events at our South Camp.

The day started with a refreshing swim in the Red Sea as the sun rose over the Sinai Peninsula. Then, later in the morning, MFO members gathered to listen as guest speakers shared their personal experiences and discussed important topics related to gender issues and how to bring about positive change. These panel discussions were followed by activities such as an obstacle course, a self-defense lesson, Zumba and yoga classes, and cultural activities which provided members with opportunities for personal growth and confidence-building.


The day finished on a high note with a dinner during which the MFO’s newly appointed Force Commander, Major General Pavel Kolář, highlighted the importance of International Women’s Day in raising awareness and calling for action to build a better world for all. The MFO’s Director General, Ms. Elizabeth L. Dibble, emphasized that equity was not a competition and highlighted the importance of working together and helping each other to achieve equality and equity.


Overall, it was a successful day full of learning and exchanging ideas while celebrating women from all around the world.
