The Women Invigorating the Nation Convention 2025 (WIN 2025) commenced recently in Suva, aiming to champion inclusivity and empower women across Fiji. The event, which runs for two days, has drawn support from various organizations, including Essity Australasia, which has been a regular sponsor over the past three years. Radhika Nair, their consumer sales and marketing manager, expressed excitement for the convention’s focus on inclusivity as a means to elevate women’s voices in decision-making processes.
The convention, under the theme “Championing Inclusivity and Blazing New Trails for the Future,” aims to create long-lasting impacts beyond its duration. According to Nair, Essity’s commitment to women’s empowerment aligns with WIN’s philosophy, and they aspire to encourage female participation at the national level across sectors.
Historically, the Women Entrepreneurs Business Council (WEBC), which organizes the convention, has driven advocacy aimed at improving the business landscape for women. This year’s agenda includes discussions that intend to inform future national policies related to women in business. Participants are expected to leave with insights that could influence the national budget and policy developments, further solidifying the importance of such gatherings in driving social and economic advancement.
The event not only highlights the achievements of women but also fosters a supportive community that encourages networking and collaboration among female entrepreneurs. Past conventions have shown a positive trend towards improving women’s representation in leadership roles, as noted in previous discussions emphasizing the necessity of creating environments that empower women.
Essity’s involvement, particularly through their popular Libra brand, signifies their focus on not only product interaction with women but also their broader commitment to fostering an inclusive community. Hygienic products like TORK further complement their mission in support of women’s well-being.
This year’s WIN Convention stands as a beacon of hope, encouraging continued advocacy for women’s rights and empowerment, illustrating that when women are heard and supported, they can facilitate broader societal changes. With ongoing dedication to these issues from various stakeholders, there is optimism for a future where women’s potential is fully realized, contributing to the betterment of communities and society as a whole.
