The "glass ceiling" is a common term used to describe the invisible and seemingly impenetrable barrier keeping women from advancing to leadership levels.
Despite gender inclusion being a core tenet of global development work, we still have a long way to go if we are to shatter our own glass ceiling:
20 percent of development organizations do not have a single woman on their leadership teams, according to a recent study by Quantum Impact.
So what can you and your organization do to turn commitments into action? What have other women leaders done to become the leaders they are today?
The
#GlobalDevWomen Leadership Weeks initiative Devex hosted this month in partnership with Counterpart International zoomed in on a range of these issues through advice articles, op-eds from industry leaders, and practical tips for employers and professionals alike. We invite you to
explore the series to learn more.
Sincerely,
Kate
