As per the Global Gender Gap Report 2021, it will take 267.6 years to close the gender gap in economic participation and opportunity. In 2021, India slipped 28 places and ranked 140th among 156 nations in The Global Gender Gap Index. Our female labour force participation rate stands distressingly low at 22.3 per cent. Only 31 per centof women occupy the Chief Human Resources Officer's role in India, a role which is over-represented by women in other countries, such as the US and South Africa. Less than 3 per cent of Chief Executive Officers in India are women. Like many women in the middle of their career, author Nishtha Anand too was overwhelmed when she first became pregnant with her child-would she also fall off her career trajectory like countless others? She hoped to nudge women, their families and organisations with practical hacks for awakening the rainmaker in them and those around them. Thus was born Awakening the Rainmaker that will motivate women to pursue their dreams and ambitions-with free choices and no guilt. Nishtha captures the gaps and potential solutions across the life cycle of a woman. She includes her learnings and interactions with women from different fields-some of India's most powerful women in business, CEOs, entrepreneurs, award-winning scientists, leading sports personalities and digital influencers. These women had their own mountains to conquer which they did with determination, planning and the right support. Further, she focuses on requisites for upbringing, demeanour and corporate policies and defines a framework for organisations to ensure a gender-neutral ecosystem. Awakening the Rainmaker will inspire during the crossroads of life and lead the way for women to pursue their ambitions.

Awakening the Rainmaker A guide to gender equality has spoken more about how the gender equality starts from home. The women leaders who have been interviewed had some common grounds like parents who treated their kids equally. The career they chose where they are not judged by gender. This is still a thing to follow in many families and firms.
When you have a supporting family and supportive professional system you can reach where you want. Sky is the limit.
We women have to do extra hardwork and effort to prove we are no less.
One of interviews where the guy wanted his daughter to be in well reputed firm in a well settled job and he don't want to give job to women who attended interviews and saying they are only for reception later understood when the same question was raised by the official about his daughter. Everyone possesses varied capabilities. If there is shared responsibility, and respect to the individuals based on their abilities and not discriminate based on gender will pave way for better society.
I wish the current generation parents will have a non-gendered approach of parenting.
I have seen all ads related to #sharetheload #weareequal They all were so good and understanding. I wish everyone should read this book.
