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