A decade of Vaahini

Accenture Vaahini, a platform working towards women’s inclusion in the workforce and gender equality in India, is completing a decade in 2022. For the same reason, our commitment to the importance of gender equality will see more vigour. We will do this by celebrating the power of women through inspiring content; focusing on the smarts and sass that helps her carve a niche. Aptly themed, ‘celebrating you,’ we will focus on new content forms that will embody the spirit of women that makes Vaahini what it is.

Remember, Accenture has set bold goals to achieve a gender-balanced workforce by 2025. This means a workforce that is 50 percent women and 50 percent men, for those whose gender is binary. Through Vaahini, we’re continuing to build on our progress because together, we can make a positive difference.

INCLUSION & DIVERSITY IN INDIA

Working to accelerate gender equality

With the world at this critical juncture, our commitment to making a positive difference together has never been stronger.

Women empowerment

As we make steady strides in recovering from the pandemic,
there’s a great opportunity for women to emerge as equal partners
and key economic actors. But first, we need to level the field and
overcome challenges such as hurdles to access, affordability, lack
of education, and inherent biases that prevent women and girls
from benefiting from the wave of digital transformation across
various fields.

Accelerating gender equality in India matters now more than ever,
with the pandemic hitting women harder. Today, women make up
only 19.9% of the workforce in India and are paid 34.5% less than
men for the same work. It’s time to realise the importance of
gender equality - failure to do so threatens to push the gender
equality timeline by more than 50 years.
