More women in decision-making roles

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.
