March 10,2025:I am writing to you on behalf of Qlik, about the International Women’s Day (IWD) quote by Serine Loh, Head of Culture & Talent, APAC, Qlik. Request you to kindly consider incorporating the below input into any story you plan to work on for IWD.

“At Qlik, equity isn’t just a goal—it’s a commitment we uphold every day. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive culture where women from all backgrounds have the support, opportunities, and resources to thrive. Through initiatives like Women in Technology, equitable pay policies, mentorship programs, and our Diversity Scorecard, we hold ourselves accountable for building a more balanced and fair workplace.

Women are a cornerstone of growth and innovation in companies worldwide, yet systemic barriers persist across industries. We remain committed to driving meaningful action toward gender equity, ensuring that every woman has the opportunity to grow. According to the World Economic Forum, the global gender gap has narrowed marginally by just 0.1 percentage points—from 68.5% to 68.6%, this progress demands greater urgency and action. Achieving true equity requires continuous effort—ensuring women have a seat at the table, their voices heard, and their contributions valued. At Qlik, we take pride in championing gender equality by creating leadership pathways, supporting working caregivers with flexible policies, and collaborating with global organizations to drive lasting change.

This International Women’s Day, we are not only envisioning a more inclusive future – we are taking action to make it a reality.”
