Despite the benefits and positive business outcomes resulting from more diverse companies, women are still largely under-represented on corporate boards globally and the situation isn’t progressing fast enough. A survey conducted by Deloitte with 8,000 companies from 66 countries shows that women hold only 16,9% of leadership positions around the world, an increase of 1,9% regarding the last survey, from 2017. The study reveals that Brazil hold the 38^th position from the surveyed countries, with only 8,6% of leadership positions occupied by women.

These numbers highlight a long-standing challenge for corporate governance: the slow pace of the changes that need to happen in order to achieve gender parity.
