The more Energy from Women grows, the more visibility for women in energy!
Energy from Women is pleased to announce that Tatiana Vásquez, an Electrical Engineer with a master’s degree in Photovoltaic Solar Energy, assumes the challenge of spreading awareness about women's participation in the energy sector in her country of origin, Colombia.
Tatiana is the first national leader of Energy from Women;
she has opened the doors from Colombia.
Tatiana trusted Energy from Women for the very
beginning, allowing us to share her inspiring story, the story of a woman who
brings electricity for those living in the last mile. This trust has become a
strong commitment to giving voice to her colleagues in the energy sector and to
give voice to those women from the most remote rural territories, where
possibilities for development are scarce.
Tatiana is not only a committed professional for the
off-grid solar sector but also a generous individual that recognizes that “women
supporting women” is the rule that society must follow to build a fair and
inclusive energy transition.
What does she say about her starting leadership in
Colombia?
“Energy From Women is an opportunity to show the
talent, knowledge, and charisma of women in any place of the world. Their
dedication and heart in different areas contribute to building a better
society, in this sense, when you join heart and mind, you gain strength and
conscience. With this initiative, we can stand out the different roles of the
women in the energy sector of Colombia and can build a network to allow women's
participation to be strengthened through projects, stories, and articles.
According to the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE - acronym
in Spanish), in Colombia, during the last decade, the gap between male and female
occupation has been 22.6%, being the male rate superior. So, the challenge is enormous,
and only by joint efforts and ideas, we can inspire other women and, little by
little, contribute to achieving the SDG5.”
Andrea Eras Almeida, founder of Energy from Women adds:
“Tatiana has excellent leadership skills, we are honored that this initiative
is being pushed by a professional like her. This is just starting, and we are
looking for working with the most passionate people. Thanks, Tatiana, for
supporting Energy from Women, we are sure that your work will cross borders to
make Colombian women more visible. Women are joining their power”.
Energy
from Women, ¡la energía de las mujeres!
