At Corteva Agriscience, we’re proud to support incredible women like Bezawit Lemma, an accountant with Corteva Ethiopia, who embodies the drive for change and empowerment. Her journey is a true testament to resilience and advocacy:
"As a 25-year-old accountant in a multinational company, I’ve had the chance to collaborate with diverse teams and experience a reality where I was treated with attention, appreciation, and care, regardless of my gender. Growing up in a male-dominated family shaped my perspective, allowing me to navigate gender biases with confidence."
Throughout her career, Bezawit has faced moments where her gender led to questions about whether she was taken seriously. But with the resilience she developed growing up, she’s overcome those barriers and is now focused on advocating for gender equality. Today, she actively creates spaces for women to collaborate, share experiences, and support one another in their professional journeys.
She passionately believes that we can accelerate action for gender equality by promoting equal compensation, eliminating unconscious bias, and ensuring equal opportunities for career growth. Her vision is a world where women are never left behind—empowered by networks that uplift them.
Bezawit’s story is inspired by the perseverance of women before her and the new generation of women who are already challenging norms and breaking barriers. 💪
Let’s join together and continue to push forward for a future where every woman has the opportunity to succeed.
