In order to inspire more women and generate a change from the area of social responsibility, the satellite direct broadcasting service provider DirecTV shows five stories of women leaders under the hashtag #MujeresPoderosas from March 2 to April 4, through its networks and its website.
This list includes an Ecuadorian, leader of the Galapagos Verde 2050 project and general coordinator of the Natural History Collections of the Charles Darwin Foundation, the biologist Patricia Jaramillo. The focus of the project is not directed to a single axis; each story has various perspectives and expresses various themes that are complementary to the UN objective for women in 2021: “Women leaders: for an equal future in the world of COVID-19” and, in the same way, relates to the SDG or Sustainable Development Goal #5 of the United Nations: “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.”
The content company seeks to inspire more girls and women through videos and remedy the gender disparity that still exists, not only in our country, but throughout the world. [The content aims for its audience] to know and enjoy the stories of scientists, researchers, players, doctors who have said no and have fought to meet their goals and achieve professional excellence.
