The need stems from a bleak picture. The numbers speak for themselves:

• Only 14% of business ownership is held by women

• Only 9% of all entrepreneurs are women

• Only 15% of CEOs are women

• About half of the self-employed women earn up to the minimum wage only, compared to 29% of the self-employed men

• Only 27% of the Ministry of Economy's budget for small and medium-sized businesses in 2015 was directed to women

• Only 8% of the loans granted by the state-guaranteed loan fund were given to women

• The proportion of women on the boards of directors of public companies is only about 17%

• Only 2% of all board chairmen are women

• Only 1% of the world's capital is held by women

According to the monthly survey of the chief economist at the Ministry of Finance, in 2016 , women constituted only 26.1% of the workers in the Israeli high-tech industry. Of the R&D roles, women make up only about 15% of all employees, and managers and entrepreneurs are also in a significant minority of 7%

The main reasons for these gaps:

According to a study conducted in Mackenzie, the main reasons why there are fewer women in senior ranks:

Lack of access to informal networks, they do not have enough sponsors, they do not have enough mentors to learn from, there are not enough women in management and technology positions, who can be role models and inspirations.

All of us (women and men), even those who wholeheartedly believe in equality of ability and opportunity, are influenced by stereotypes and the common and existing model, which is mostly male, in management positions. The challenge and the burden of proof, the effort required, from women, is much more than from man. Different personality structure, organizational values ​​that do not value female characteristics, or unwillingness and not aware to differences.

Panthera strives to change existing realities and create female leadership!
