Accelerating Action for Gender Equality

Accelerating Action for Gender Equality: Netis Commitment to #IWD2025

On March 8, Netis proudly joined the global celebration of International Women’s Day 2025, embracing this year’s theme: Accelerate Action. Across our subsidiaries, we reinforced our commitment to gender equality through impactful initiatives designed to inspire, empower, and create lasting change.

Investing in Future Generations

Netis Tanzania extended its commitment beyond the workplace by engaging with students at Igogo Primary School. Through an educational session, we introduced young minds—especially girls—to the telecom industry, emphasizing the importance of STEM careers. Led by our female professionals, the session provided real-life insights and mentorship, sparking curiosity and ambition among the students. By nurturing these aspirations early, we aim to bridge the gender gap in STEM and build a more inclusive future workforce.

Networking and Leadership Development

Netis Ghana actively championed women’s leadership and professional growth by participating in the Women in STEM event. Senior female leaders represented the company, contributing to key discussions on advancing women in science and technology. Additionally, the team organized a Networking Dinner for Female Professionals and Entrepreneurs, creating a platform for meaningful connections, collaboration, and mentorship. A special panel discussion, “Gender in the Workplace & Gender and Leadership,” further emphasized the vital role of women in business, offering actionable insights and strategies for career advancement.

Empowering Conversations and Engagement

Our teams in Uganda, Benin, and the DRC led insightful discussions on gender equality, female leadership, and workplace inclusion:

• In Uganda, a post-lunch discussion fostered open dialogue about challenges and opportunities for women in the workplace, creating a space for shared experiences and actionable solutions.
• Netis Benin engaged employees in meaningful exchanges on gender disparities, emphasizing the power of collective action for inclusion and equality.
• Across Kinshasa, Kasaï, and Goma in the DRC, our teams participated in discussions promoting gender equality at regional levels, reinforcing our commitment to continuous engagement and advocacy.

Breaking Barriers, Building Strength!

As part of our Women’s Day celebration, NETIS Rwanda hosted an inclusive aerobics and gym session, welcoming both women and men! By working out together, we champion gender equality, solidarity, and empowerment in health and athletics. Let’s continue to challenge stereotypes, foster inclusivity, and uplift one another in the pursuit of well-being.

Community Impact and Support

NETIS Burkina Faso: Strength in Solidarity

To mark International Women’s Day, women at NETIS Burkina Faso gathered to discuss cohesion, mutual support, and equality. Advancing gender equality also means supporting one another, creating opportunities, and breaking down barriers for a more inclusive environment. This meaningful gathering concluded with a donation to the Sainte Thérèse de Loumbila Orphanage, a powerful gesture that reinforces the belief that every action counts and that solidarity is a strength. Together, we go further, because unity is at the heart of every fight.

NETIS Togo: A Gesture of Solidarity

This year, NETIS Togo made a significant impact by supporting the Association Le Jade pour la Vie, which aids vulnerable individuals, particularly women and children living with HIV/AIDS. With support from management, NETIS employees—both men and women—mobilized to make donations. Essential food supplies were provided to beneficiaries, reaffirming our commitment to equality through solidarity. By acting, NETIS Togo strengthens its commitment to social responsibility and gender equality. A small gesture, a big impact!

Driving Lasting Change

Through these collective efforts, Netis reaffirms its dedication to accelerating action toward a more inclusive and equitable future. We remain committed to fostering workplaces where diversity thrives, women lead, and meaningful change is continuously driven forward.

Together, we accelerate action. Together, we shape the future.
