“Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow,” said FWN Chairperson Ms Grace Isaac-Aryee. “For us at FBNBank, the celebration of International Women’s Day is an acknowledgement of the challenges that women face in the workplace and in society in general, as well as our commitment to contribute significantly to breaking down the barriers that so undermine us.”
