Powerful transformation is also female
Women are breaking the barriers and leaving behind the stereotypes and labels that have taken away the opportunity to develop their personal and professional life; together, as citizens of the world, we are collectively reaching a stage for further development and real cohesiveness. When we come together, we make change inevitable, transformation is here, and a powerful transformation is also female.
Women’s empowerment, an economic catalyst
With women representing more than 50% of the population worldwide, the need to increase women’s participation in the workforce becomes crucial. It will drive economic benefits, improving quality of life, access to education and
healthcare.
Women are working together all over the world to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and improve the lives of women and girls in their communities. At Volteo, we are firm believers that by promoting gender equality at social and company layers, we will create a more diverse environment that will boost our economies, impacting families, communities, and overall society in this increasingly competitive and complex world.
The message is clear: it's not about ensuring that women have the same advantages as men, but that everybody, regardless of gender, age, culture, ethnicity, gets an equal range of opportunities.
By standing up for equality and women empowerment, we provide visibility to successful journeys of women who have led transformation.

“Surrounding yourself with people whose traits you admire and from whom you can learn is what I call the power of association. Consciously and subconsciously, their actions and behaviors will influence your everyday choices.”
