In conjunction with International Women’s Day, the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort has released its first ever podcast episode. Themed “Women Empower Women”, the podcast discusses gender equality in the Maldives and the impact of Marriott International as a global force behind driving women’s empowerment. Joining the conversation are three panellists, each one accredited as experts in their field: Rivero Delgado, Area Vice President for Singapore, Malaysia and Maldives of Marriott International; Yasmeen Rasheed, Assistant Resident Representative of the Democratic Governance Unit, United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Maldives; and Aysha Hussain Shihab from Hope for Women, a non-governmental organization (NGO) working for gender equality and women’s rights in the Maldives.  

With an emphasis on community, these series explore a wide range of topics that range from diversity inclusion, gender equality, sustainability initiatives as well as lifestyle, travel, dining, and vacationing in the Maldives. “We hope to provide listeners with a glimpse of who we are, not just as hoteliers but as people who live, work and help build communities. We hope to offer a taste of our piece of haven here in the Maldives” remarked Emilio Fortini, general manager of the resort. The monthly podcast series will be made available on Spotify.
