With the progressive objective of accelerating and improving the gender balance of corporate boards in Egypt and the MENA region, the Auc Egypt Women On Boards (Wob) Observatory defies the odds by fostering women’s readiness for boards and eliminating barriers to entry. The initiative aims to sensitize male board members to gender issues and advocate for policy and legislative changes that institutionalize gender diversity in organizations.

Disrupting explicit and implicit gender bias patterns, the Egypt WoB observatory continues to achieve a scalable and replicable impact that crosses borders and resonates with the national, regional, and global commitments to gender diversity and inclusion.
