Corporate sector told to achieve 30% target of women decision-makers

KUALA LUMPUR – Corporate companies have been urged to ensure that at least 30 per cent of their decision-makers are women as the percentage is still low compared to the public sector.

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said the percentage of women representation in decision-making positions in the public sector has exceeded the target at 38 per cent.

“In the corporate sector it (the target) has not been achieved, that is not within our control but we keep advocating it, that is why we work with non-governmental organisations to make sure that the pressure is felt by the corporate sector which will push them to achieve it.
