Even in top positions, women face challenges within institutional structures, systems and mindsets that require transformative change
Yes! Still even in top positions, women face challenges within institutional structures, systems and mindsets that require transformative change.
Women are as brilliant as men in their education and also they are learning more degrees than men. But still they are facung a lot of issues. It is equally important to know the challenges that they face. Women hold the least senior administrative positions and are also the lowest paid. In reality they are not paid that they deserve. From research as well our own experience we know that supply of qualified and ambitious women are not less. And even when women attain leadership or higher positions they face challenges within institutional structures and systems and also in the mind-sets that must requires a transformative change. There is increasing numbers of women professionals who are coming back for their career advancement or self-development and they have to balance the responsibilities of life with their education. It is very rare that women whi are in top positions get a chance to sit down and share their experiences and incident with each other.
It’s high time we should do more to support women as strategic, intelligent, aiming a goal, focused and ambitious. We would still have a long way to go ahead to transform their mind but that would at least be a good start in our part.
