Government-led initiatives have focused on increasing the representation of women in leadership positions without paying attention to the root causes of poor participation of women in leadership positions in society
No effort has been dedicated to the elimination of the deeply entrenched beliefs about the low status of women in society which have been perpetuated by patriarchy for centuries.
Women must embrace the belief that all men and women are born equal with unlimited potential to be successful leaders. Traditionally, top executive positions were only reserved for men and women dominated in support roles. This poses a threat to men who had traditionally relied on their financial power to control women who had no income or were poorly paid.
Initiatives that focus on addressing the symptoms of gender inequality by increasing representation of women in decision making positions must be coupled with the empowerment of men and women to navigate relationships in a gender equal society.
