The Daily Beast published a story last year with statistics that showed women being quoted 1 in 5 times on woman's issues. The article continued with stats on news shows showing a very similar picture. The Daily Beast I haven't been able to find similar statistics for South Africa, but am not convinced it would be very different. Are we just not being asked? Or don't the media know who to ask? Are the women with expertise not high profile enough or is it simply that with less than 20% of corporate top jobs in the hands of women, the statistics are aligned with the reality? How does it change? Social media has to be one of the ways forward. With the ability to put opinions out into the ether, surely the media (and the world at large) will note that women have a point of view on matters beyond celebrities, beauty and fashion. And may I add that enjoying the aforementioned does not drive business, economics and politics out of you...
Its just my opinion.... Sharing thoughts, experiences and insights on business issues (and a few personal ones too)
