Our Core Values
We would like to use this powerful platform to unite women and demand gender equality in the hospitality industry without segregating in the tribe, physical attributes, or social, cultural, and economic achievements of the women in question. We therefore have Values that guide us and help to provide direction for the type of action, behaviour, and ethos of this forum.
Dignity
All people regardless of gender have the right to be valued, respected, and receive ethical treatment. The word is derived from Latin dignities meaning worthiness. We work closely with the women, and mothers of the nation to keep their dignity intact or restore it for those who may have lost it.
Equality
“I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.” Audre Lorde. Equality means ensuring all people have equal opportunities to make the most of their lives and talents, and that no one has poorer life chances due to their background or status.
Hope
We live in a society where people have lost hope and merely live like prisoners serving time. Hope is the feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. We strive to make hospitality women dream and hope for a better tomorrow by providing them with mentorship programs, training, and self-improvement skills.
Collaboration
Where there is unity and collaboration, big things can be achieved. For modern-day women (and men) who understand that there is power in unity. Strength in numbers is a critical force in driving change. “In unity there is strength; We can move mountains when we’re united and enjoy life—without unity, we are victims.”
Appreciation
A moment of gratitude makes a difference in one’s attitude. We believe that is not joy that makes us grateful, but rather gratitude that makes us joyful. Through celebrating success, populations become more appreciative of the role women play in contributing to society. It increases awareness women are not marginalized and discriminated against.
Respect
Equality can only be achieved if the diversity, differences, and qualities of women are truly valued. Respect for others is a key value underpinning the ethos and agenda of Women in Hospitality. Respect for others and self-respect play an important part in forging gender equality and making progressive career growth.
Empathy
We value diversity and appreciate differences which are key to forging deep relationships to effect change. It's through the ability to understand and share the feelings of others that differing situations and perspectives can be grasped. We call you to understand the plight of women - the challenges faced for an inclusive and progressive world.

Our Inspiration
Naturally, hospitality is a female-oriented industry because women are meant to be more hospitable than their male counterparts. So, over the years, women have continued to play a pivotal role in the hospitality industry. Lately, we have seen remarkable change and growth for women in the hospitality industry where they have proven to be as capable and qualified as men.
Sadly, despite the growth, women are still being held back from taking top management positions in the hospitality sector. This inequality is not just continent-specific but rather universal.
