Women’s full and effective participation and decision-making in public life, as well as the elimination of violence, for achieving gender equality is essential. Also, the empowerment of all women and girls and the flagship Generation Equality campaign, which calls for women’s right to decision-making in all areas of life, equal pay, equal sharing of unpaid care and domestic work, an end all forms of violence against women and girls, and health-care services that respond to their needs.
Women leaders and women’s organizations have demonstrated their skills, knowledge and networks to effectively lead in COVID-19 response and recovery efforts. Today there is more acceptance than ever before that women bring different experiences, perspectives and skills to the table, and make irreplaceable contributions to decisions, policies and laws that work better for all. Women are heads of state and government in only 20 countries worldwide, so there is scope for greater representation.
Shashank Nadkarni, underscores that, over the years, many daughters have become the faces of their family businesses. “Their journey, however, has not been easy. They took up the challenge and proved their mettle in taking the family legacy forward and making a mark of their own. Women in business families were earlier relegated to softer roles in corporate social responsibility, philanthropy, human resources. They are now leading strategic decision making and operations across all industries.”
