This year, we pay tribute to the women working in traditionally male-dominated fields, such as technology and engineering. One such woman from Motion, ABB in Indonesia is Eva Susanti Fransiska, Technical Specialist, Motion. In a field that is often dominated by men, she has broken barriers and proven that women are just as capable of excelling in technical roles. Working as technical specialist requires a deep understanding of complex machinery and electrical systems. It demands troubleshooting skills, problem-solving abilities, and a keen eye for detail.
Eva has not only mastered these skills, but she has excelled in her role, becoming an invaluable asset to Motion team and ABB in Indonesia. Her story is one of perseverance and determination. In a profession where women are underrepresented, she has had to push through countless obstacles and prove herself time and time again.
The stereotype that women are not suited for technical roles has been shattered by her accomplishments. International Women’s Day with the theme Inspire Inclusion is a reminder that gender should never be a barrier to pursuing one’s passions and aspirations. It is a call to action for organization to create inclusive work environments where women can thrive and contribute their unique perspectives and skills.
Inclusion is not about merely having women in the workplace, it is about ensuring that their voices are heard, their ideas are valued, and their contributions are recognized. It is about breaking down the barriers that prevent women from entering technical fields and providing them with the support and opportunities they need to succeed.
Eva is certainly an inspiration to all women who aspire to work in male-dominated industries. Her achievements serve as a testament to the fact that with determination, hard work, and the right support, women can excel in any field they choose.
On this International Women’s Day, let us celebrate the accomplishments of women like her and recommit ourselves to fostering inclusive work environments where all women can thrive. Let us inspire inclusion by supporting and empowering women in technical roles, breaking down stereotypes, and creating a more equitable and diverse workforce.
As we move forward, let us remember that true progress is achieved when everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed. By inspiring inclusion and celebrating the achievements of women in all fields, we are one step closer to achieving gender equality and creating a better future for all.
