Women leaders in the largest and most successful companies in Macedonia

International Women's Day, or March 8, is a holiday that has been celebrated around the world for more than 110 years and symbolizes women's struggle for equality with men.

Today, this day has partially lost the political connotation that was the main focus at the beginning of the 20th century and retains its symbolic meaning.

In honor of this day, we salute the strong women who bravely and successfully go through life and realize themselves as mothers, wives, housewives, and then also as business women.
