“Women are the ultimate economic accelerators, spending 90% of everything they earn back on their families,” said Thomson Reuters Foundation CEO Monique Villa. “Think of the enormous implications of that. When a woman works, the whole family benefits; children are better fed, better educated and have more chances to succeed in life. This Award wants to showcase women as game changers through the incredible power of images.’’
Co-founder of Talenthouse, Maya Bogle, said: “Talenthouse is building a global home to the world’s creatives and opening doors to new opportunities and career prospects for them. We’re dedicated to supporting, empowering, recognising and rewarding aspiring creative talent. This partnership with Microsoft and Thomson Reuters directly supports aspiring creatives as they seek new ways to express their creativity and work with brands.”
