Altansuvd Brewin Yesterday the Association for the Development of Mongolian Women in Europe (ADMWE) held an event on International Womens Day at the UPF-UK HQ.

The event, mainly organised by the Chief Executive of ADMWE, Altansuvd Brewin (photo left), combined themes of classical Mongolian and European music with talks on diet and beauty in between speeches from influential ladies. The Co-Founder and President of ADMWE, Enke Enkhjargal Danzanbaljir, in the keynote address explained that the Association's prime humanitarian aim was to improve the prevention of cervical cancer in Mongolia for which an auction was held during the evening.

Several speakers encouraged women's entrepeneurship during the evening. Madi Sharma, the UK Representative on the European Economic and Social Committee, asserted that having more women in the Boardroom could prevent another recession because the innate female leadership style can be more long term and nurturing. This can complement the tendency of male leadership to focus on shorter term profits.

Elizabeth Crowther-Hunt LVO, the Chief Executive of Westminster Business Council, explained that women entrepeneurs are a largely untapped resource in the UK. She described how the Business Council seeks to empower women entrepeneurs through advice, networking opportunities and suggesting experienced business mentors to support new entrepeneurs.
