The
Women’s
Awards 2020
If you didn’t watch it, you missed an amazing night of celebration and glamour again this year. Even though we had to change from a face to face event to one online, the usual prestige and sparkle were definitely in place. The Women’s Awards 2020 were hosted by Official Host Rupal Rajani, with her co-host Dave Andrews. In her speech, Founder Sandra Pollock reflected on a year marked by a series of transformational changes that will impact on our lives for years to come. The Covid-19 pandemic and the killing of George Floyd in the US that brought together people from across the globe in support of people with black and brown skin in recognition of the injustices they face. The Women’s Awards came out of a need to recognise the gender imbalance and diversity, and continues to distinguish women across all races, cultures, ethnicities, and any element used to lower the value of women. “It is absolutely possible to promote the recognition and celebration of women or any other group, whilst ensuring the continued value of all other groups, cultures and individuals. The two are not exclusive.” Sandra Pollock.
