About this event
In recognition of International Women’s Day, Jamaica will host its first ever Global Mentoring Walk on Saturday 5, March 2016 to unite women leaders & highlight the importance of peer mentorship between young women and women leaders.
The Global Mentoring Walk is being staged in collaboration with the Washington Based, Vital Voices Global Partnership which has organized similar events in over 51 countries with over 7000 participants. International Women’s Day recognizes women’s contribution to global progress and reminds us of the work that remains to advance women and communities everywhere. It is the ideal opportunity to demonstrate the power of women’s leadership in various spheres of life. Through the Global Mentoring Walk, mentors and mentees come together to walk in their towns and cities across the world, sharing challenges and solutions and forming supportive bonds that foster growth, confidence and leadership.
