On Friday 18th of October, 2024, our founder, Maryann, was awarded The United Nations Association of Australia Western Australia division (UNAAWA) gender equality award at the united nation’s 79th anniversary gala.

At Reach Her Inc, we believe that gender equality is not just a goal; it is a fundamental human right. Our mission has always been to empower women—especially those facing barriers in the workplace, in business, and in their communities—by providing them with the tools, resources, and mentorship needed to succeed. We have seen firsthand how gender inequality manifests in many forms, whether it’s unequal pay, lack of opportunities, or biases in leadership. And that is why we are committed to creating a world where women have equal access to education, employment, and leadership roles.

This award is a reminder that the fight for gender equality is far from over, but it also reaffirms that change is possible. Each step we take toward equality lifts us all.

We want to dedicate this award to the women and girls around the world who continue to challenge norms, break barriers, and create a more equal future. Thank you again for this honor. Together, we will continue pushing toward a world where every woman can reach her full potential.
