Looking back at the last year can help you better understand key turning points and chart a course for a promising future.

After years of not knowing what would happen and a global pandemic which also turned out to be one of the most difficult events in history, we moved forward, ready to face what was next.

We review the events of the year 2022, from the invasion of Ukraine to the stock market crash.

Apple’s market valuation exceeds $3 trillion for the first time ever:

The stock market value of Apple surpasses $3 trillion for the first time, making it the first business in history to achieve this milestone.

Cryptocurrency collapse and stock market freefall:

The market capitalization of cryptocurrencies peaked at almost $3 trillion in November 2021 but has since declined to $904 billion.

Moreso, in May of this year, the value of the biggest tech companies in the world was reduced by more than $1 trillion.

Global Inflation:

At first glance, the world economy appeared to be stronger than ever at the start of the year.

However, The year 2022 was marked by extreme inflation.

According to a new World Bank study, a global recession could hit in 2023 if central banks around the world continue to raise interest rates in reaction to inflation.

This would be followed by a series of financial crises that would have long-lasting effects on emerging markets and developing economies.

The population of the world now exceeds 8 billion:

According to the UN’s World Population Prospects 2022 report, the world’s population hit 8 billion in November this year.

Sunak is also the youngest individual to hold the position in more than 200 years at the age of 42.

The death of Queen Elizabeth II:

The UK’s longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, passed away at Balmoral at the age of 96.

Elon Musk acquires Twitter: 

A filing with the US government in October revealed that the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, had successfully acquired Twitter for $44 billion.

FIFA World Cup:

For the first time, the Middle East hosted the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

In one of the most exciting finals in recent memory, Argentina won the 2022 World Cup by defeating France.

Finally, this year showed us more than anything else that our efforts, whether big or small, can alter the world as we strive to discover the potentiality of the unattainable.

Let’s work together to make 2023 a better year.

We at Crenov8 recognizes the value and necessity of women’s empowerment in today’s business world.

As an innovation firm headquartered in Dubai with a regional presence in Africa, Crenov8 is also founded by a woman who is driven and passionate about technology and innovation.

“Choose to Challenge” is the official theme for International Women’s Day 2021 , recognizing the importance of confronting gender disparity and discrimination.

The need for celebrating the International Women’s Day is greater than ever as women around the world deal with the social, economic, and political impact of Covid-19.

The UN announced their theme for 2021 as “Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a Covid-19 world”.

Last year’s theme was #EachforEqual, with the aim of recognizing the individual steps we can take to challenge expectations and celebrate women’s accomplishments.

Here are some important facts you need to know about the International Women’s day;

Clara Zetkin came up with the idea of making the day international. In 1910, she proposed the concept at a Copenhagen International Conference of Working Women.

In 1911, Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland became the first countries to celebrate International Women’s Day.

When the United Nations began celebrating the day in 1975, it became official.

According to the International Women’s Day website, the colors of IWD are purple, green, and white.

Just 24.9 percent of national parliamentarians are women, and women are heads of state or government in 22 countries.

Gender equality among heads of government would take another 130 years at the current pace of change.

More also, Women under the age of 30 make up less than 1% of parliamentarians worldwide.

According to the World Economic Forum, eliminating gender disparities in employment and entrepreneurship could boost global productivity by as much as 16 percent.

Just 46% of startups have at least one woman on the board of directors, and only 56% have at least one woman in an executive role.

60% of women from all racial backgrounds have been subjected to derogatory remarks or jokes about their gender.

Women have to be encouraged to apply for leading positions in the workplace. They need to chase their dreams and build careers in men-dominant spheres. They need to measure their worth with their career level and begin to earn as much as men in the same role. They need to occupy more seats in the boardrooms and public offices. 

Never again will it be said that the role of a woman is in the kitchen. Today, women go to work dressed in long-sleeved suits and standing tall in silhouettes. They have left behind the days of “be seen and not heard” to take up critical roles in corporate organizations.  

The journey to the corporate world did not start in a day. It took generations of resilient women who lent their voices for the rights of today’s working-class woman. Those women, who against all odds rose against the norms of her day and insisted on the right of her unborn. Women who grew tired of the ordinary and dared to step outside the boxes of societal laws.  

These were the days of the real feminists, as far back as the women’s rights movement of the 19th century where women fought to claim their freedom from suppression. Women campaigned for their right to vote, to hold public offices, to be educated, to be healthy, and to be free from sexual violence and more. To date, women all around the world are still fighting for their rights, especially for equal pay with their male counterparts. 

Although not completely bridged, the gender disparity gap is no longer as far apart as before. Today’s society expects that women work like they don’t have children and raise their children as though they don’t work. Some employers don’t understand women’s peculiarities – their mood swings, their cramps and the struggle to maintain a work-life balance, or the pressure to be both a wife at home and the best performer at work. Until the anatomy of a woman is put into consideration, society will not fully understand the need for equality in the workplace. 

In commemoration of the International Women’s day 2020, we at Crenov8 support equal opportunities for women in corporate organizations. We believe that there is more a woman can achieve if she is given equal chances.

Happy International Women’s Day!
