Sun Siyam Pasikudah celebrated S International Women's Day on March 8 with a heartfelt cele- bration honouring the invaluable contributions of its female col- leagues.

Sun Siyam Pasikudah Celebrates Women's Day with a commitment to encourage industry participation

The day was filled with gratitude and festivities including a cake-cutting ceremony and conversations that highlighted the resort's efforts to encourage female participation.

Despite women constituting well over half of the country’s population, their representation in the hospitality sector is below 10 percent which is disproportionately low when compared to the women making up over half of the entire hospitality work-force globally.

This disparity is often attributed to social stigmas, safety concerns, and traditional gender roles that discourage women from pursuing careers in hospitality. Addressing these challenges, Sun Siyam Pasikudah has implemented targeted initiatives to create a more inclusive environment.
