Patricia Caring said: ‘Every International Women’s Day at Annabel’s, we remember the enduring strength and resilience of women around the world.
‘The Caring Family Foundation strives to create a world where women triumph over adversity, by creating pathways for women to make decisions in their own lives.
‘Today we explore ways to inspire inclusion and address the challenges of exclusion, echoing the discussions from our International Water Day event last year, which focused on equity.
Despite the progress made, women continue to face significant obstacles, particularly survivors of domestic abuse.
‘At TCFF, we are steadfast in our commitment to reducing these barriers through our work in the UK and Brazil.
“Thank you to our incredible panel for sharing their experiences and showing us that by supporting each other, we can all inspire positive change and elevate women’s voices.”
