Women perform a pivotal role in the society. They not only bear,
nurture and nourish the society but they play their part in contributing
to the development of society in diverse areas as well.
However this fact itself is ignored in many societies. However in Sri
Lankan society the impeccable contribution delivered by the woman cannot
be ignored. The country's coffers depend on the women in the fields of
plantation, apparel industry and the foreign labour.
MAS Holdings' 'Women Go beyond' is aimed at stressing the equanimity
of women and bringing their significant contributions to the spotlight.
The award ceremony is focuses on dedicated and courageous women within
the portals of the company. It is a way of felicitating them and
boosting their spirits.
'Women Go Beyond' is just another initiative launched by MAS to
empower women. The company launched projects all year round which help
women gain knowledge and brush up their skills. Throughout the years
they have introduced a number of talented women from the rural areas of
the island.
Most of the 'Women Go Beyond' award winners have reached their goals
in life playing numerous roles of a sister, wife, mother and working
woman. The winners were picked from four main categories: Supporting
Career Advancement , Work Life balance, Skill Development and Rewarding
Excellence.

items were presented by the women.
