About The Book

We recognize that efficient utilization of human resources is essential for global economic growth, yet we see scarce representation of women in leadership roles. We acknowledge that women are different, but fail to realize their potential as equals. We accept that women need to be empowered, yet debate who should take the lead and who the stakeholders are. This book has ideas and agenda for action to break stereotypes, shed invisible barriers, and create an ecosystem of empowerment. This can only be done when all stakeholders—employers, governments, NGOs, men, and women themselves— walk the talk in ensuring equity with effectiveness for women at the workplace.
