Women make up about 56 % of the workforce in almost all sectors. They contribute more than a third to their economies and have the potential to lead the world towards greater good. Yet they are often targets of deep rooted gender bias. Many skillful women disappeared in to oblivion when less deserving male colleagues were favored to climb up the progress ladder.
