Building on the triumph of last year's event, the GLAMOUR Women of the Year Awards: The Game Changers edition returns this November. This prestigious ceremony will once again honour exceptional women who drive change and break boundaries.
Mark your calendars for November 23rd, when we’ll come together to honour the outstanding achievements of powerful women across diverse fields—recognizing their influence, resilience, and the journeys that inspire us all.
The GLAMOUR Women of The Year Awards is a global stage where extraordinary women who have shattered barriers and set new standards are celebrated as true Game Changers.
Absa is thrilled to be an exclusive partner for this year’s event. This collaboration is all about celebrating shared values of empowerment, diversity and innovation. Just as GLAMOUR champions women who inspire and uplift, Absa is committed to highlight the powerful journeys of South African women who continue changing the status quo and breaking boundaries.
We caught up with Absa to get the inside scoop on this groundbreaking partnership what it means to stand alongside GLAMOUR for such a prestigious event. They also shared an exciting prize opportunity for one lucky winner at the Women of the Year awards.
Why has Absa chosen to partner with GLAMOUR on this event?
Absa’s partnership with GLAMOUR for the Woman of the Year Awards underscores its commitment to amplifying women’s voices across business, entrepreneurship, and beyond. This collaboration aligns with Absa’s 'In My Story' campaign, which highlights the powerful journeys of South African women to inspire future generations. Through this partnership, Absa reinforces its dedication to gender equality, enhancing visibility for women’s achievements and supporting a more inclusive future.
What reasons does Absa have for viewing awards like WOTY as significant, and why do they prioritize supporting women overall?
Absa views awards like the Woman of the Year (WOTY) as essential platforms for recognising and celebrating the achievements of women driving change in their fields. Supporting women’s empowerment aligns with Absa’s strategic vision and commitment to societal progress. Through initiatives that advance women’s representation and professional development, Absa is breaking barriers and championing inclusivity, contributing to a stronger, more inclusive economy and society.”
