50a50 is a non-profit association arising from the Woman, Company and Economy Observatory (ODEE in its Catalan initials) of the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce and founded in the year 2017.
At present it is made up of more than a hundred women in business, directorial, pre directorial and entrepreneurial roles, and it works as a pressure group in order to bring forward the compliance of Objective 5 of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations, relating to the full and effective participation of women and to equal opportunities for leadership in all decision-making sectors in public, economic and political life.
At 50a50 we work towards placing value on female talent and achieving 50% female representation in decision-making roles within institutions, agencies and companies, because we want a more equal and fair society.
