On March 5,2020 Aloft Kathmandu Thamel organized an event for the ladies talents (staffs) which was attended by Ms. Priya Sigdel, Miss Nepal Earth 2018 as a Guest Speaker to talk about IWD2020 theme Each for Equal, regarding women rights and women empowerment followed by Hi-tea at Akua. 

Speaking of the campaign, General Manager of Aloft Kathmandu Thamel, Mr.Vikram Singh shared “The IWD 2020 campaign theme draws on the notion of “collective individualism”, which refers to the idea that an individual’s actions and mindsets can all have an impact on a larger society.
