She is the DXB lead for the Women in RED (WiRED) initiative, under the umbrella of the IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility) committee formed to drive initiatives on diversity and inclusion at RED Engineering.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThere is no place for gender bias in an industry that could thrive on equality, this only emphasises the growing role of women in infrastructure. Particularly in the GCC, the focus needs to be shifted from simply increasing numbers to creating equal and meaningful opportunities that are accessible to all. Women are the architects of change, and in this region, we are breaking barriers and laying the foundation for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_185923286\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-color:rgb(244, 187, 24);border-width:10px 10px 10px 10px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<h4><strong>Need to know:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Speaker<\/strong>:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Takwa Dawdi, Senior Electrical Engineer, RED Engineering<\/p>\n<p><strong>Session<\/strong>:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Panel \u2013 <em>Women in infrastructure: A GCC Review<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time<\/strong>:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 15:55-16:25 | Day 1 | 21st November<\/p>\n<p><strong>Track<\/strong>: \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"color: #f4bb18;\"><strong>REGIONAL<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Take a look at the full <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/touchdownme.com\/en\/agenda\/\"><em>Touchdown Middle East 2023 Agenda.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_185923286 {\n  padding-top: 15px;\n  padding-bottom: 15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-2042311965\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-2042311965 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"social-icons follow-icons full-width text-center\" style=\"font-size:112%\"><span>Connect with this Speaker<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/takwadawdi\/\" data-label=\"LinkedIn\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon primary button circle tooltip linkedin\" title=\"Nous suivre sur LinkedIn\" aria-label=\"Nous suivre sur LinkedIn\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><i class=\"icon-linkedin\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D\u00e9sol\u00e9, cet article est seulement disponible en English.We are very excited to announce that Takwa Dawdi, award-winning Senior Electrical Engineer from RED Engineering will be joining Touchdown Middle East 2023<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2355,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-speakers"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchdownme.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchdownme.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchdownme.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/touchdownme.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/touchdownme.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2353"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/touchdownme.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2353\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4802,"href":"https:\/\/touchdownme.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2353\/revisions\/4802"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/touchdownme.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchdownme.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/touchdownme.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/touchdownme.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
