Here's the facts. BBCWorld and CNBC as sponsors have provided complimentary adverstisement and cover the story in the news. They contribute to regional awareness of women's issues. They do not sell advertising or pay for the conference. They gain brand exposure and association with a worthy community cause.
Women's issues in Qatar are real and significant. Women do not strive to JUST have work. That is not what empowerment is about. Women are entitled to freedom of choice to participate in their societies at the levels they choose for themselves.
Regional women have several incredible and inspiring accomplishments. If the opinion is otherwise - perhaps profiles are too low and more media is required to address the perceptions.
Ticket prices are heavily subsidized by sponsors and the organisers, Ticket fees cover 15 - 30 % of expenses only and rates are significantly below those held in the region. Regrettably participation of corporate Qatar was below expectation and reliance on ticket sales to offset some expenses was necessary.
For those unable to attend, reports will be filed on the website post conference. Also we anticipate that stories will be run on the networks to share the outcomes.
No one event will solve all issues. If there are better ideas - let us know and we will support you in getting them up and running. There is no monopoly on Corporate Citizenship. Volunteers willing to organise worthwhile initiatives are always welcome.
