Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
- Today women achieve the highest levels of education, but still do not have equal access to positions on Boards of Directors in business corporations;
- 30% of large organizations did not self-impose reachable targets to increase women’s representation on their Boards of Directors; and
- There still is an imbalance in the make-up of Boards of Directors that does not reflect the massive investments made by Canada in support of women’s education.
