4. • The phrase women in business (Women Entrepreneurs) considers the
historical exclusion of women in leadership roles, particularly in the field of
commerce, business and entrepreneurship. Today, the phrase advocates for
increased participation of women in the business, aiming to diversifying the
workforce.
• There is more Equitable distribution of women in corporate leadership and
entrepreneurship roles.
• Increased participation of women in business is important for variation in
business development, ideas and products, encourages the development of
communities, countries and ultimately its need of world economy.
• The state of women in business varies significantly around the world. The
number of women-owned businesses increased by nearly 3,000% since 1972
according to the "2018 State of Women-Owned Businesses Report"
commissioned by American Express.
• Although society has made considerable advances to promote women in
business , there is still a lack of career guidance, family commitment, sexual
discrimination, lack of adequate capital, inadequate education and lack of
access to, or training in the use of technology. Women are more constrained
than men by their social and political environment. 4

5. • Women Business Participation- (Numbers Speak)
• Female entrepreneurship ranges from just over 1.5 percent to 45.4 percent of
the adult female population in the 59 economies included in the Global
Entrepreneurship Monitor research project.
• Women make up only 6.2% of CEOs, 20% of directors in S&P 500
companies, despite making up 47.00% of total employees controlling about
75% of household spending and more than 50% of personal wealth in the U.S.
• Globally, men occupy more board seats than women. As of 2018, women held
20.8% of the board seats on Russel 1000 companies (up from 17.9% in 2015).
• As of 2014, nearly 60% of 22,000 global firms had No female board members,
less than 5% had a female CEO.
• A little over half (50%+) had No female C-suite executives
• There are around 2 women per board, with the average S&P 500 board
consisting of 11 members.
• In 2015, women held 17.9% of the board seats on Fortune 1000 companies.
One in nine in the Fortune 500 list still doesn't have any women on their board.

6. • Women Participation & Performance - (Some Key Statistics)
• A 2009 study of 2000 companies and 87000 directorships in the USA, found
that, on average, the more female boards members, the lower company's
performance
• Catalyst, a non-profit research organization, reported that having a higher
percentage of women board directors was positively associated with
companies' scores on four of six CSP (Corporate Social Performance)
dimensions: environment, community, customers, and supply chain.
• Catalyst also found that there is a positive correlation between companies'
board diversity and philanthropic giving.
• A recent report conducted by the Peterson Institute for International Economics
has found that having more women in overall executive positions correlated to
greater profitability at organizations: "Going from having no women in
corporate leadership (the CEO, the board, and other C-suite positions) to a 30%
female share is associated with a one-percentage-point increase in net margin
— which translates to a 15% increase in profitability for a typical firm.
• However, a 2018 study shows that female CEOs are 45% more likely to be fired than their male
counterparts, even if they are doing a good job

7. • Gender Presentation on Company Board & Rationale Behind
The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against
Women (CEDAW: The “Bill of Rights for Women) adopted in 1979 and entered into
force as an international treaty in 1981, affirms the principles of fundamental
human rights and equality for women around the world. Almost every UN
member state (186 of 193) has ratified CEDAW in line United Nations’ SDG 2030.
