Europe Leads But Women Will Not Enter The Boardroom 'By Osmosis'

Language is often not meant to be gender-specific. So America’s Declaration of Independence : ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal’ resounds around the world to assume both men and women. When the Indian politician Arvind Kejriwal launched the Aam Admi party – Admi, which means ‘man’ in Hindi, was taken to mean ‘people.’ But when it comes to the language around the world’s publicly listed company boardrooms, the language of equality remains resoundingly male.
