PRETORIA, South Africa March 8, 2023 – Today is International Women’s Day, and this year Ford’s International Markets Group (IMG) is celebrating the day by asking six employees to share their thoughts on what this year’s theme #EmbraceEquity means to them.
Since its inception well over a century ago, International Women’s Day has grown to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women – and marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.
This year’s theme #EmbraceEquity is particularly poignant for women in Ford’s IMG region. Stretching from West Africa to New Zealand, Ford’s IMG region employs 28,000 people across 65 markets, supporting an enormous number of roles across a huge array of disciplines.
Ford’s workforce is diverse – drawing talent from across the globe to work on vehicles that encompass groundbreaking technologies, advanced new safety systems, class-defining design and engineering. Our teams are constantly finding new and diverse ways to streamline and enhance manufacturing techniques that help improve quality and enhance our products. That process can only be achieved if we work together to #EmbraceEquity.
