In a world striving for diversity and inclusion, the underrepresentation of women in leadership roles remains a pressing concern. The statistics are clear – women occupy only a fraction of executive positions across various industries.
August is an essential month in South Africa because it represents Women’s Month. Every year, we pay tribute to the more than 20,000 women who marched to the Union Buildings on August 9, 1956, in protest against the extension of Pass Laws to women.
In South Africa, women currently occupy only 10% of directorship positions at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) led companies (Mabaso, 2020). These figures are still low even though women have undertaken initiatives to improve their education and skills base over the past years. Women are amassed in middle management positions, while men occupy executive positions (Auster & Prasad, 2016; Kiaye & Singh, 2013).
The statistics are undeniable – women continue to be underrepresented in executive and leadership roles. It’s an issue that demands immediate attention and proactive solutions. At Kefilwe Tsela, we understand the urgency of this matter and are committed to bridging the gender gap in leadership through our comprehensive programs.
