Closing the GapThrough Tech and MeasurementIn 2017, Parity.org® founder and CEO Cathrin Stickney heard the World Economic Forum’sdire estimation that it will take more than one hundred sixty years to close the gender gap inbusiness. In response, she founded Parity.org to address the problem, particularly at the toplevels of companies, where the gender gap is the widest.The WEF now predicts it will now take 256 years to close the economicgender gap for women worldwide—fifty years longer than it was estimated totake in 2019. Despite the decades-long assertion by companies that they arehighly committed to gender diversity, their current level of commitment hasnot translated into meaningful progress.Email:info@parity.orgWeb:www.parity.orgFacebook:Facebook.com/paritypledgeLinkedIn:Linkedin.com/company/parity-orgTwitter:@paritypledgeInstagram:@paritypledge1
