This article caught me off guard, especially considering the fact that this is one of our strategies to give financial education to the women in the informal sector that we are dealing with. Makes some really valid points about how this notion has been overused and doesn't serve the purpose most times. Learning indeed does not end. Here is a full article for reference. #financialeducation #financialliteracy #financialinclusion #finance #islamicfinance #WeAreAWEC #halalfinance #halalinvestment https://lnkd.in/dK6EhRTb

Important to note for those advancing equity and inclusion at work
Based on our new report on Bill 21's effect on Quebec Muslim women's employment, the law is deeply correlated with major indicators of social discord. These include racist harassment at work, including physical attacks, deteriorating mental health, employment instability, and overall mistrust, among other things. All experienced by Quebec's Muslim women. The evidence is in: Bill 21 breeds second-class citizenship. We warned about this, and now the confirmation is in. This is a sad reality as we near the fifth anniversary of Bill 21's passage. It is time to repeal Bill 21.

SECP introduces new amendments to aid election of #independent and #female directors. The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has amended the Listed Companies (Code of Corporate Governance) Regulations, 2019 and the Companies (Postal Ballot) Regulations, 2018 to make it easier for listed companies to elect independent and female directors. The new regulations introduce a three-tier voting structure, whereby votes are cast separately for female, independent, and other directors. The number of votes for each category is counted separately, and there is no restriction on the total number of female and independent directors that can be elected. The reforms are designed to improve corporate governance and protect minority interests. Independent directors are seen as bringing specialized expertise to the board and contributing to conflict resolution. The reforms will also promote women inclusion in the boardroom. Here are some of the key points of the amendments: -A three-tier voting structure is being introduced for listed companies. -Votes will be cast separately for female, independent, and other directors. -The number of votes for each category will be counted separately. -The reforms are designed to strengthen CG in listed companies. -They will also protect minority interests by ensuring transparent elections.
