I had always managed to survive workplace hardships, but there was a particularly difficult time when I began to consider early retirement, and Engendering Industries taught me that I can persevere... Engendering Industries kept me going because I learned that what was happening to me happens to women worldwide. I learned that there were strategies for people and companies to overcome these challenges.

ISWSC promoted women so that its executive committee now has balanced representation of men and women.
We are taking a big stand, which you hardly see organizations in Nigeria doing, but it’s natural. It is unique to do what we are doing, but even the men who were skeptical are beginning to see the issue of gender as something that concerns everybody. This has impacted our reputation positively.
