International Women’s Day was celebrated around the world on Tuesday, March 8. As one of Nielsen’s annual calls to action through our Women in Nielsen (WIN) Employee Resource Group 和 Nielsen Cares, our associates marked the day with activities on March 8 and throughout the month. This year’s theme, “Pledge for Parity,” emphasized the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, while at the same time calling attention to the urgent action needed to accelerate gender parity around the world.
For example, a recent Harris Poll study highlighted some of the gender gaps in attitudes and opportunities in the United States. Three-fourths of Americans (75%) believe the U.S. has come a long way toward reaching gender equality, but strong majorities believe that female leaders have to work harder than men to prove themselves (83%), women’s contributions in leadership roles often go unrecognized (78%), and being a parent has more negative implications on a woman’s career than on a man’s (75%).
国际妇女节的各种活动、小组讨论和在线论坛为尼尔森员工提供了机会，让他们庆祝那些激励世界变革的女性，帮助那些仍在苦苦挣扎的女性，并缅怀那些在他们生活中起到激励作用的女性。尼尔森东南亚、北亚及太平洋地区总裁梁昌泰（Cheong-Tai Leung）和产品领导力总裁梅根-克拉克恩（Megan Clarken）作为执行赞助商，发起了国际妇女节庆祝活动。国际妇女节还标志着 WIN 在东南亚、北亚和太平洋地区的启动（见上图），这是对北美、印度、非洲、中东、欧洲和拉丁美洲现有分会的补充。
On March 10, 2016, Terri McCullough, CEO of No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project, participated in a global webinar for Nielsen associates. McCullough shared data and findings from the March 2015 Full Participation Report, which analyzes global gains made for and by girls and women over the last two decades, as well as the gaps that remain. To mark the report’s one-year anniversary and this year’s International Women’s Day, the No Ceilings initiative also launched a digital campaign to share “ceiling-breaking” moments of progress that have been made toward gender equality over the past year.
