Equality

Globally, women earn approximately 80% of what men earn for comparable work — a gap that persists across nearly all countries and industries. The World Economic Forum estimates that at the current rate of progress, it will take over 130 years to close the global gender pay gap completely. Factors include occupational segregation, the motherhood penalty, unconscious bias in hiring, and under-representation in senior roles. Countries like Iceland, Finland, and Norway have the smallest gaps.

Their strong desire for social justice, equality, and collective well-being drives them to champion causes and innovations that benefit society as a whole. They often think globally and act progressively.
