Move ahead of gender

biases, uplift women

Sandhys D'Mello

sallyakhalesitimes.com

When worlding in a

multicultural group

or environment,

we need to

attempt to unlearn

our inherent

unconscious

biases by rationally

assessing the

decisions our

brains make

in everyday

situations.

Men and women have an equal

responsibility to support wom

en, especially in the wake of the

Covid-19 pandemic, and it is about

time that the world moves ahead

of gender biases and stereotypes

and uplifts women to do what they

are truly capable of, said Alisha

Moopen, deputy managing direc

tor of Aster DM Healthcare, on In-

ternational Women's Day 2022.

This year's International Wom-

en's Day theme-#BreakThellias

is focused on a "gender-equal"

world. A world free of bias, stereo-

types, and discrimination, which

is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

A world where difference is valued

and celebrated and forging wom

en's equality.

The blue-chip firm led by

Moopen mother of three and

daughter of Dr Azad Moopen,

founder, chairman, and managing

director of Aster DM Healthcare-

is at the helm of corporate affairs

and is seen as an ambassador of

women empowerment in the Ar

abregion.

Moopen endorses that ensuring

gender balance at senior levels has

to be a board agenda, as there are

enough research papers that con-

firm the superior performance,

tial to the continued success of

all aspects of our operations. The

DAWN platform is a long-term

initiative to help ensure Dubai

Airports continues to build on its

commitment to provide an in-

clusive, supportive environment

where all female professionals are

encouraged and empowered to

realize their maximum ambitions.

and potential.

"We also hope the DAWN net-

work will help inspire young fe-

male professionals across Dubai

and the UAE to explore the amaz-

ing opportunities the aviation

community provides," he added.

The DAWN platform was

launched on International Wom-

en's Day, which celebrates the so-

cial, economic, cultural, and polit

ical achievements of women and

honours their influential histo-

ry across the globe. As part of the

launch, Mona Al Abdoli, Dubai

Airports' SVP of Corporate Assur-

ance, moderated a virtual event

where she shared her personal ca-

reer development story and led

a panel discussion on topics that I

included challenges faced by fe-

male leaders as well empower-

ment strategies to help foster the

professional growth of women at

created by women leaders being in

senior roles.

"We have to commit to a certain

ratio of senior leadership and above

being women, to be able to effecti

real change. Having a woman for

just a namesake and to comply with

some guidelines, or to showdiversi-

ty and inclusion, will not suffice. It

needs to be a more systematic and

structured change where we com-

mit to 30-40 per cent of leadership

roles being occupied by women.

Over the last few years, and even

more so during the pandemic, we

have witnessed that organisational

cultural practices that emphasised

high humane orientation, high gen-

der equity, high-performance ori-

entation, and low power distance

were reported to have high percent-

ages of women in management,

plained.

Almost 60 per cent of Aster's

employee base of around 24,000

Aster Volunteers is a global cor

ter Volunteers conducted a multi-

camp at Infracare ladies accom

modation at Al Quoz. "It was really

heartwarming and inspiring to see

how these women are so passion-

ate and talented. We feel this is our

fundamental responsibility of vol-

unteering," she said.

that many industries are evolving

due to the availability of new tech-

nology, which is creating new roles

that women can actively pursue.

She agreed that the automotive in

Justry is "not the most diverse in-

dastry" and that there is still a

ways to go forus.

Moopen, who is a role model for

aspiring businesswomen in the Ar

ab world, thinks that women tend to

take on challenges as they are inbuilt

with a strong sense of resilience.

Speaking about the #BreakThe

Bias theme for this year's Interna-

tional Women's Day, Shehzeen Ja-

mil R, head of COFEstore at COFE

App, and co-founder at SIPPY, said

that women are generally subject

to a stricter set of standards than

men in the founder/startup space.

"The goal should not be to just

have more women present in or-

der to promote change, but, rather

have changed mentalities in place

that understand and accept wom-

en equally. If women could have

more time allocated towards their

actual work, rather than proving

their worth and fighting bias, we'd

all be in a very different world."

Leandra Meintjes, head of mar-

keting at Proven, said that the oc

casion called for everyone to salute

all the women who do things a little

differently.
