Hawkamah’s current research on board practices in the MENA region shows that there is still a long way to go to reach gender equality in the boardrooms in the MENA region.

Initial results of the survey highlight that the percentage of women on ADX and DFM boards is still very small. ADX listed companies having a 4% rate of women occupying board seats whereas while DFM listed companies raised the percentage of female board members to 5%.
