Women of Concern

A core element of the luncheon is to honour an individual from the private or public sector for their exceptional achievements and extraordinary leadership in this area. This year we will pay tribute to Ms. Sinéad McSweeney, Managing Director, Twitter Dublin and VP of Public Policy EMEA at Twitter – an inspirational leader committed to progress and fuelled by her belief in respect, empathy, honesty and resilience as fundamental business principles.

When Concern begins working with a community, it is women and girls who are most often the first that we work with – not only because persistent inequality in all societies means that women are disproportionately affected by poverty and oppression – but because Concern understands that women are the most effective dynamos of change within their families and communities.

We understand that if you invest sustained time and resources into the lives of women in the community – providing holistic economic and social support – that they can lead in lifting themselves, their families and their communities out of extreme poverty forever.

By joining us on Friday, October 11, you show solidarity with women and girls fighting the forces of oppression and discrimination, and directly support them in achieving major and long-lasting improvements in their lives – one woman, one community at a time.
