EMPOWERING CREATIVE WOMEN
IN THE DIGITAL ERA

International Women Empowerment

While any day makes for a great opportunity to celebrate women’s creativity, International Women’s Day on the 8th March and the entire Women’s History month serves to highlight the incredible achievement and contribution of Women in various industries – how their unique voices, their perspective, and their creativity pushes the needle forward.  

Women’s creativity is unstoppable – and their art and creative expressions are ever more visible thanks to the internet and new technologies. 

In the Digital era, more and more women are finding their voice and influence. No longer limited by education, finances or location, today, any woman who has reliable access to the internet is entitled to a multitude of opportunities presented by the global marketplace. 

In fact, women have been at the forefront of the new “Creators Economy” which allowed housewives to turn their passion for cooking into YouTube sensation, fitness enthusiasts, and beauty bloggers to become multi-million dollar influencers and small business owners to scale their businesses into world-famous brands. 

While highly visual platforms such as Instagram carried the negative effects of shameless self-promotion and picture-perfect edited lifestyles, the current popularity of videos, particularly short forms such as TikTok and Instagram Reels encourages much more creativity, self-expression, diversity and ultimately rewards authenticity.
