Red Shoe Movement Announces its 3rd Gender Equality Global Initiative, "Ring the Bell on the 7 Seas"
Joining forces with Honeywell, Microsoft, Ultimate Software and other Celebrating Partners for 2020 International Women's Day
NEW YORK, March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- This March, the Red Shoe Movement (RSM,) an innovative global women leadership platform, celebrates with bell-ringing ceremonies that not only raise awareness and urgency on the importance of advancing women in executive positions, but also amplify the work of organizations such as the United Nations. Since its inception, the RSM's initiative has been one of the top worldwide contributors in social media on International Women's Day.
"The Ring the Bell on the 7 Seas," a Red Shoe Movement® Gender Equality global initiative is an online/offline series of bell-ringing events around the world to recognize and accelerate female representation at all levels of decision-making, equal pay for equal work and shared power. Participants, wearing the iconic RSM's red shoes, ties or accessories, read an empowering manifesto and take turns to ring the RSM 20/20 bell across the globe.
In 2020 the "Ring the Bell on the 7 Seas" is joined by Honeywell as Lead Sponsor and key Celebrating Partners such as Microsoft, Ultimate Software and the California Maritime Academy among others.
"We want courageous leaders across the world to ring in a new era of gender equality and commit to progress, one company, one team and one individual at a time. We asked Scherezade Garcia, a female artist devoted to the issue of inclusion, to turn our bells into art pieces because art is a universal language, one that values creativity and invites all voices to the table. When we ring this bell, we are calling for a future that is inclusive of everyone," said visionary Mariela Dabbah, founder and CEO of Red Shoe Movement.
"We are thrilled to sponsor the 'Ring the Bell on the 7 Seas' initiative and to continue to create a future where women are a critical part of smarter, faster, safer and sustainable solutions," said Sandra Ruiz Barbosa, Regional Vice President, Human Resources Latin America, Honeywell.
Celebrating Partners understand the need to work on leveling the playing field year-round, put a stake on the ground to celebrate women on International Women's Day, and integrate an inclusion mindset across their organizations.
"We know that success and innovation can only be driven in an inclusive workforce. As a long-term partner of the Red Shoe Movement, we've seen first-hand the effect of their programs. So, we are proud to support this forward-thinking initiative," said Cesar Cernuda, President, Microsoft Latin America, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Corporation, and RSM 2020 Hall of Fame honoree.
