“Davos meeting: Firms warned not to slide on women's equality”:
Companies need female employees to help them bounce back from the coronavirus pandemic and must not let gender equality slip off their agenda due to the tough business climate, a virtual meeting of global figures heard on Monday.
Women have been hit hard by the pandemic’s economic impact, with the International Labour Organization warning last year that COVID-19 threatened to wipe out “modest progress” on workplace equality in recent decades.
