Happy International Women’s Day to all equality champions in the world! #IWD2020
An equal world is a better place. But why can’t we each and all do a bit more for equality? We are all responsible for our thoughts and actions. We should actively choose to challenge stereotypes, fight biases, broaden perceptions, give opportunities to all. Collectively, each one of us can help create a Gender equal world.
Who has inspired you in this journey?
A big shout out to all women and men that keep on giving, helping, fighting and doing all and beyond for gender equality. #EachforEqual
As shared on LinkedIn, here is a snapshot of how things have developed and progressed for working women in Asia, and where there's more room for improvement.
○ The ratio of Southeast Asian women in senior management has risen to 35% from 28% a year earlier, though Singapore slipped: Study
○ In mainland China, Hong Kong and Singapore, one quarter of portfolio managers are women – versus just one in 10 in the US, according to Morningstar
○ Women need telecommuting options to be able to stay in the workforce, Singapore's President HalimahYacob has said.
Are you doing what you can in your day to day life and at work to foster a more equal world? To look at women and support everyone equally.
We leave you with that question and #EachforEqual
