Women on Board
A Project by LLWB
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Lebanese League for Women in Business (LLWB) launched the Women on Boards (WOB) 2025 initiative in 2016 advocating for 30% women on boards of companies and organizations by 2025. Through this initiative, and in partnership with a number of private sector companies, public sector entities, academic institutes and international organizations, LLWB has been working on multiple fronts for achieving this objective.

Multiple activities have been carried out by the association including preparing a draft law that sets a quota of 30% women on boards in organizations which has been discussed with the Office of the Minister of State for Women’s Affairs, drafting policy recommendations for private sector companies to have more women on their boards prepared in partnership with Shareholder-Rights by Capital Concept s.a.l, and assessing the gaps in gender equal policies and practices in a pilot private sector companies through a gender diagnostic implemented in partnership with the International Labor Organization.
