#SriLanka has made progress in having more #WomenOnBoards, but there's a still a long way to go. So what do we need to do to accelerate this progress?

[IFC Asia Pacific @IFC_AsiaPacific]

@IFC_org @globalcompact @unwomennepal @WBG_Gender @lopa_rahman6 @LazzKate #DYK that @IFC_org prioritizes gender balance in its own investments and recruitment?

Bangladesh top in South Asia for women on boards of companies listed in @DhakaStockBazar but only 6% representing independent directors @LazzKate @SwissAmbBD https://t.co/UIGOQoLRND

[IFC Asia Pacific @IFC_AsiaPacific]

1⃣% - that's the number of women who are independent directors on listed companies in #Bangladesh🇧🇩 since 2020

We need more women in businesses, economies for inclusive and sustainable growth. Are you ready to #BreakTheBias?
