🔴 Live from #IWTTFGulf in Dubai: "Supporting #women in their career growth is very important to what we do. We provide opportunities for development, mentoring, and coaching so women can advance in various roles, including leadership positions. We were shocked to learn that only one in ten professionals in this sector is a woman. This is a gap we must all work to close. That’s why, last month in Riyadh, we launched Maharat for Tourism in partnership with @SPARKorg - @AnthonyNakache, Managing Director MENA, @Google #MaharatForTourism #Googleorg #Google #Dubai @WIT_CIC @Googleorg

⁠ The war in #Gaza continues unabated, leaving behind massive losses of life, and infrastructure damage and forcing displacements of unprecedented scale. ⁠ ⁠ “As we mourn the loss of so many Gazans and the destruction of family homes, mosques, universities, hospitals and businesses, we remain steadfast in our commitment to Gaza and its people, who are living in the most challenging and dire conditions. However, until a ceasefire is achieved, efforts to revive Gaza’s education and entrepreneurial sectors remain unattainable. In the meantime, @SPARKorg along with its partners, are doing everything we can to be prepared for the moment a permanent ceasefire is in place,” says Simon van Melick, SPARK’s CEO.⁠ ⁠ Read more: bit.ly/OneYearGAZA
