Celebrating International Women's Day 2026: giving to gain

Generosity, collaboration and the power of reciprocity and support are central to the theme of International Women’s Day this year. “Give to Gain” highlights how contributing everything from knowledge, mentoring and training to resources, advocacy and time helps to support true gender equality. 

In this article, women from across Ogier share what this year’s theme means for them and how Ogier supports that vision. 

Farrah Sbaiti 

Partner, Cayman Islands 

"I am part of a strong and supportive partnership at Ogier, whose progressive culture and dedication to promoting diversity, growth and excellence have helped to support reaching this milestone in my career." 

Xiomara Moore 

Senior Billing Administrator, Cayman Islands 

"Women are encouraged to set ambitious career goals and given the tools and resources to achieve them. We can progress in our careers without compromising our family commitments."

Ann Bott 

Senior Communications Executive, Guernsey 

"Knowing that I have flexibility in my days and the ability to keep up with my hobbies has had a very positive impact on my work-life balance and overall sense of wellbeing while progressing my career."

Leira Anne Lopez

Senior Fund Accountant, Jersey 

"As an expat, I value the time that I'm able to spend with those back home. Ogier has helped me build this into my schedule, so I remain connected to my family. I truly value feeling supported and this motivates me to give my best at work."

Rebecca McNulty

Partner, Jersey

"One reason for pursuing the path to partnership was the hope of inspiring at least one other woman to do the same. As an advocate for being your authentic self and inspiring the next generation to strive for their goals, I'm so grateful to be at a firm like Ogier."

Tatiana Fernandes 

Manager, Reward and Employee Value Proposition, Jersey 

"International Women’s Day is about empowerment and community. Ogier gives me the time and space to carry out volunteering activities. This allows me to help create positive change for women and families in need. 

"I choose to volunteer my time supporting local food banks because I believe if we're in the privileged position of being able to help others, it’s important to do so. We never know when circumstances might change and we could easily find ourselves in need of the same support. For me, giving back not only makes a positive difference in the lives of others but also brings a sense of fulfilment and connection."
