MANAMA: Bahrain Bourse (BHB), a self-regulated multi-asset marketplace, today joined 188 global exchanges in the annual United Nations Ring the Bell for Gender Equality initiative, which took place virtually in conjunction with the celebration of International Women's Day.
The initiative is consistent with Bahrain Bourse’s active role in promoting gender equality and empowering women in the capital markets sector.
The initiative featured key executive females in leadership positions from several listed companies as well as other key stakeholders, and showcased how participants from key stakeholders are actively pursuing their efforts to promote gender equality within their organisations.
The virtual event is being held for the 8th consecutive year globally. This year, the UN’s International Women Day is themed: 'Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow', recognising the contribution of females around the world, who are leading the charge on climate change adaptation, mitigation, and response, to build a more sustainable future for all.
The "Ring the Bell for Gender Equality" virtual event is a collaboration between the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) Initiative, the UN Global Compact, UN Women, Women in ETFs, and the World Federation of Stock Exchanges to raise awareness about the private sector's opportunities to advance gender equality and sustainable development.
The global bell ringing events aim to emphasise the pivotal role the private sector can play in advancing gender equality to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and to raise awareness about the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs).
