Highlighting female success stories over a variety of businesses and industries

 

Kuwait, 21 September 2021: Gulf Bank has announced it is sponsoring “Lei Wa Lakom,” a digital talk show hosted by Taiba AlHumaidhi, who interviews women from all walks of life, highlighting their stories and the general challenges women face in the workplace, at home, and across social and community settings.

 

The program aims to encourage a policy of women supporting women, offering advice on everything women have to offer as individuals and what society can offer in return. The show also aims to highlight advice on how to deal with the most common shortcomings cited by women, and also calls on major societal institutions to support women, in addition to being a platform that showcases the talents and competencies of female leaders in the country.

 

The program is dedicated to providing insightful content directed primarily to working women who seek to develop and improve their society and environment. The show targets a wide range of audiences, including both young women who are at the start of their careers, and female success stories and role models from the local community.

 

Commenting on the program, Lujain Al-Qenaei, Assistant Manager of Corporate Communications at Gulf Bank, said: “Based on Gulf Bank’s keenness on societal sustainability, our support comes to the “Lei Wa Lakom” program which sheds light on female role models in society who have succeeded in overcoming the obstacles that women face in their practical and social lives. At Gulf Bank, we believe that displaying these models has a great positive role on the new generation of working women and supports the Bank’s efforts for gender equality and women’s empowerment, as Gulf Bank was one of the first Kuwaiti entities to commit to implementing the United Nations Women’s Empowerment Principles, in addition to its commitment to work to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.”

 

It is worth noting that the "Lei Wa Lakom" is a female-led program made by women, for women. The program's staff are solely female, most of whom are from Kuwait, in addition to a group of talented women from other Arab countries.
