Sanjana Shah said, International Women’s day is about demanding equal rights for the women, who form half of the population. There are several traits that are unique to women and only women are efficient in them, be it multitasking, patience, social skills, convincing power, empathy, , negotiating skills, therefore they excel in professions like sales, HR, counselling, creative roles, relationship managers, account servicing etc. By not involving women or not giving them equal opportunities, we are missing out on efficiently utilising their talent and finding solutions for various challenges.
