International Women’s Day (IWD) has a very important place on our calendars at Hook 42. Being a woman-owned business, we’re constantly striving for gender equality, and even more so within an industry that is predominantly male-dominated.
So how do we continue to push for equality?
August 26th is a special day for the owners of Hook 42. As a woman-owned company, we are very familiar with the adversity women face in the workplace. We’re even more familiar with how intense that can get depending on the industry you’re in.
Our inspiration for starting Hook 42 was a culmination of many different things, but one of those things was creating our own voice outside of a male-dominated workforce. The signs were clear that everywhere we looked we found areas of improvement, so our owners took things into their own hands and built a business to solve those problems.
As a women-owned business, we understand the importance of empowering our fellow ladies. Not only that, but we want to foster inclusivity, including trans individuals and those who identify outside of the gender binary as part of our celebration.
