Sidara Celebrates International Women’s Day

Sidara was proud to mark International Women’s Day with a series of activities across the week.

Colleagues across our brands participated in a clothing drive supporting Dress for Success, a global nonprofit that empowers women to achieve economic independence through professional attire, development tools, and a strong support network. This follows Sidara proudly hosting the Dress for Success Power of Women Awards, an award ceremony, spotlighting the great achievements of women and partnerships across the Dress for Success Network.

Our flagship event took place on Tuesday, when six exceptional women across Sidara joined a panel discussion titled “From Challenge to Change: How Far We’ve Come and the Road Ahead,” reflecting this year’s International Women’s Day theme, “Give to Gain.”

Our panelists included:
• Elisabeth Montgomerie, Introba
• Joanne Ng, Dar
• Rachel Jordan-Evans Chartered FCIPD, Sidara / Penspen
• Cynthia Samuels, Introba
• Ceyda Davidson (Jayda), Introba
• Emily Shearer Introba

The discussion explored perspectives across career stages, highlighting progress made, ongoing challenges, and the role mentorship and allyship play in supporting women’s advancement.

Together, the week’s activities reflected Sidara’s commitment to strengthening our communities and advancing meaningful progress.
