A
conversation with Jess, female Service Engineer at Ash Air
There is nothing that our women canโt do! In celebration of International Women's Day in March, we turned our focus to chat to our Field
Service Engineer, Jessie.
At Ash Air we break the stereotypes, and firmly trust the power of our women, gender diversity and equality. We have a 30% female workforce
in effect, with representation in all areas of our operations: warehousing, administrators, finance, logistics and planning, management, as
well as sales and service engineers.
"Forward thinkers - they think outside the box, and apply that logic to real life."
"My team... the team I've got to support me are absolutely amazing. We hire for the right people, for the right jobs."
"The opportunity to explore not only a different variety of machinery, but also explore a little bit more of my country as well."

What
stood out to you about joining the Ash Air team as a female engineer?
"They spoke to me like I was an Engineer that wants to further my career - that's what means the most!"
"I fix machines and I help people with their operations on a day to day!"
"Something that could stimulate my mind, but was also adventurous and outgoing. Ash Air seemed to tick all the boxes for me!"
"Advertise for women! We are out there, and we want to do this stuff. To have a company that encourages what we are interested in doing, is the first step in the right direction."

International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

The campaign theme for International Women's Day 2023 is #EmbraceEquity. Equity isn't just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have. A focus on gender equity needs to be part of every society's DNA. And it's critical to understand the difference between equity and equality. IWD 2023's campaign theme aims to get the world talking about why "equal opportunities are no longer enough."

Purple, green and white are the colors of International Women's Day. Purple signifies justice and dignity. Green symbolizes hope. White
represents purity, albeit a controversial concept. The colors originated from the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in the
UK in 1908.
International Women's Day is not country, group, nor organization specific. No one government, NGO, charity, corporation, academic institution, women's network, or media hub is solely responsible for International Women's Day. The day belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. Gloria Steinem, world-renowned feminist, journalist and activist once explained "The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist, nor to any one organization, but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights." So make International Women's Day your day and do what you can to truly make a positive difference for women.
