(toskanews) – «We must involve everyone: companies, institutions, culture, society to make people understand how healthy companies, a company healthy is the one in which i women’s rights are recognized and where all the women they enjoy the same opportunities as men». He said it Darya Majidipresident of UN Women Italyduring the conference «Innovating the culture of equality – From words to facts», promoted in Milan by Sanofi.
Social barriers: from nursery schools to the cost of housing
«What is really important – added Majidi – is to understand the various phases of a woman’s life: we complain about the fact that young women don’t have children, but how can they have children when the economic situation is like thishousing is so heavy, so expensive, and when there are no social structures, even nurseries, so that girls and young people can start a family. So the problem is complex, it’s not just in companies, in institutions, there must be knowledge and awareness on the part of everyone.”
Poor representation: only 6% of women are CEOs
«Because it is a healthy society, it is a society where women can truly express their potential, something that is not happening in Italy at the moment. Just think also about representation: only the 6% of women are CEOs at an Italian level, unfortunately also at a global level. The other day I was looking at a report on Italian top managers, they were only in the top 100 positions 6 women and almost all of them had inherited their company. We need to think about it.”
