On 6 March, Aminata Conteh-Biger, CEO and Founder of the Aminata Maternal Foundation, had the privilege of speaking at Dexus, a leading Australasian real asset group renowned for fostering an inclusive and diverse workforce. The event brought together employees and C-suite customers from across the Dexus Sydney portfolio, creating a space for meaningful conversations about equity and empowerment.
Dexus is deeply committed to creating an environment where everyone feels safe, valued, and supported, believing that diversity fuels exceptional performance. This vision aligns closely with Aminata’s mission—a mission rooted in the belief that no woman should have to fight for the right to safe childbirth.
During her address, Aminata shared her personal journey of survival, resilience, and purpose. Her story served as a powerful reminder that maternal health is not just a women’s issue—it is a human issue. Every mother deserves to give birth with dignity, care, and respect. When organisations and individuals align their values with action, real and lasting change becomes possible.
The event also marked the launch of the Handover a Handbag campaign, an initiative that invites women to donate new or gently used handbags. These donations help support women in need as they enter or re-enter the workforce, providing them with a small but significant boost in confidence as they take the next step in their journey.
At Dexus, inclusion and diversity are recognised as key drivers of exceptional performance. Through its purpose—unlocking potential to create tomorrow—Dexus is committed to fostering a workplace where everyone belongs. Events like this serve as a vital reminder that by working together, businesses and communities can turn shared values into meaningful action.
