PASHA Bank on International Women’s Day

PASHA Bank made a donation to the Women’s Information Center on behalf of the Bank’s female clients and partners, thus congratulating them in a traditionally special way. These funds will be applied to organizing campaigns aimed at raising awareness on women’s rights in Georgia.

In 2015 PASHA Bank distinguished itself as a responsible corporate citizen by congratulating its partner companies on Easter and New Year by donating funds and the painting “Choice” by prominent contemporary artist Rusudan Petviashvili to charity organization ‘First Step Georgia.’

“PASHA Bank provides corporate and investment banking services to large and medium-sized enterprises,” said the head of PR and Marketing Department of PASHA Bank. “We pay double attention to the relationships with each and every partner. Thus, we always try to congratulate them on holidays in special ways and in most cases we combine our corporate gifts with CSR activities. We believe that our support to the Women’s Information Center will be useful and productive.”

The Women’s Information Center is a non-governmental organization that aims to improve women’s political, economic and social status via the availability of information. The Center is mainly focused on the implementation of the gender equality policy and takes active part in the development of the new law and update of the existing one.

“CSR projects aimed at raising awareness on gender equality issues are of top importance for building an equal society,” said Elene Rusetskaya, Head of Women’s Information Center. “We highly appreciate PASHA Bank’s initiative to contribute to this cause and hope that they will become a trendsetter for other organizations as well. At WIC we believe that each contribution matters in building an equal society. The contest that we organized with the support of PASHA Bank to celebrate International Women’s Day will encourage young participants to engage in the process of building a democratic society and will reveal new perspectives to them.”
