First of all , what is cause of so call not enough women in boardrooms of an Organisation ? Too many men make women redundant in the 1st place ? Rather they (AWARE) should asking what woman as a whole have not done correctly or are they(Woman) simply not up to the tasks ? There is also not enough women in sector in sewage , Construction , handy man sector.

SINGAPORE: Women's representation on the executive boards of organisations have increased but the pace at which this is occurring can still be improved.
This is according to the Diversity Action Committee's (DAC) report which was presented to the Minister for Social and Family Development, Mr Tan Chuan-Jin, on Wednesday (Oct 5).
In its report, the DAC noted that women's representation on executive boards hit 9.7 per cent by the end of June this year. However, there was a gap between them and the 21.7 per cent of senior management positions held by women, it showed.
The report made several recommendations including requiring listed companies to disclose their diversity policy and objectives, adopt a set of best practices for board nomination and appointment as well as develop their executive pipeline to increase the pool of women for board roles in the future.
Mr Tan expressed his support for the DAC's recommendations and urged companies to consider them to raise women's representation on boards.
"Women bring with them different perspectives which can bring about more robust and dynamic governance in companies. These companies perform better, ultimately benefiting our economy as a whole," he said.
