These barriers can come in many forms: unequal pay, limited routes to advancement, and basically zero representation in decision making positions. Despite all these obstacles, many women have found the strength and determination necessary to adapt to these challenges. They’re also breaking ground by challenging the norm and making sure their industries are full of equal opportunities.

And experienced mentors help women to overcome challenges and take opportunities where experienced mentors leverage their insights, support and help guide women through.

The gender equality advocates include women leaders who actively campaign to bring in policies that give equal pay, parental leave and anti-discrimination measures. This is not just to the benefit of women. This policy increases the equity and inclusiveness of our society. Women are helping to dismantle the barriers that have historically restricted their opportunities by pushing for systemic change.
Celebrating Success
In all industry women have remained proud and not only celebrated the achievements of other women but also inspired others to produce more and be more successful. Women contributions are highlighted by awards, accolades and a public recognition which encourages others to dream and go for it. As we celebrate success we also challenge stereotypes and change perceptions about what women can, and should, do. We shine a spotlight on these female leaders and can inspire the next generation of neurodivergent minds to dream big and leap over their own barriers.
Women in Leadership the Future
Women will be in executive leadership roles in the future. The ripple effect is happening more and more, as more and more women are putting their hands up to climb as far up as they go, and they are all creating change for everyone. This is a great example to show young girls and women there, too, can achieve their dream. If women keep fighting for equality, keeping innovative, with one another we can sign in lasting stride and create the world we’ll today.
