Professional Advancement on a Global Scale

Women have long played an essential role in shaping history, society and culture while bringing attention to gender discrimination, gender inequality and women’s rights. While some progress has been made for women in and outside of the workplace, there is still much to be done, and different parts of the world present unique challenges and opportunities. Even now, worldwide, women only make 77 cents for every dollar men earn.1 This can lead to a lifetime of income inequality between men and women.
