ABOUT W-SUITE
The persistence of inequality between men and women in the 21st century remains a key point of discussion. Despite advances in working towards gender parity and progress particularly in business, gender diversity at the top echelons of business and government remains regrettably low. Over the years, research has shown that full inclusion of women executives improves a company’s financial performance. Yet the scarcity of female executives and general representation of women in the C-suite is stagnating.
