PRESS RELEASE
Over 100 exchanges worldwide will 'Ring the Bell for Gender Equality 2021'
London, Monday 8 March, 2021 – The World Federation of Exchanges is pleased to announce that 107 exchanges and CCPs will be involved in events this week for the annual 'Ring the Bell for Gender Equality' initiative.
For the seventh consecutive year, exchanges and CCPs around the world are planning to ring opening or closing bells to celebrate International Women’s Day 2021 (Monday 8 March 2021).
The theme for International Women's Day 2021 is Choose to Challenge. Women leaders and women’s organizations have demonstrated their skills, knowledge, and networks to effectively lead in COVID-19 response and recovery efforts. Today there is more recognition than ever before that women bring different experiences, perspectives, and skills to the table, and make irreplaceable contributions to decisions, policies and laws that work better for all.
Nandini Sukumar, CEO of the WFE said: “We are pleased with the tremendous response from market infrastructures across the world supporting International Women's Day. As public markets we believe in equality of access and the power of market infrastructure to play a role in bringing about sustainable growth and development.’’
As part of the industry’s efforts to empower women in the workplace and celebrate the benefits of a diverse workforce, the World Federation of Exchanges 2021 Women Leaders initiative shines the spotlight on the exceptional leaders in the industry who excel and inspire. Selected from every corner of the world and across every size of market by nine women leaders in the industry, all of the 2021 WFE Women Leaders cohort are united in making regulated public markets a force for inclusive and sustainable growth.
The Ring the Bell events, both in-person and virtual, started on Monday 1 March and will last for two weeks. The WFE has worked in partnership with the IFC, Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) Initiative, UN Global Compact, UN Women, and Women in ETFs to raise awareness about the business case for women’s economic empowerment, and the opportunities for the private sector to advance gender equality and sustainable development.
