The speakers highlighted upon the strength of women,they being more evolved and mentally strong during COVID-19 challenging times, inequality in the leadership roles for women in the corporate sector, etc. The outcome of the discussion came out as the need to train boys to develop gender equality in the society and change their mindset right from childhood to accept women into leadership roles. While work from home option will tend to the practical gender needs of a woman, it will curtail the strategic needs of leadership roles women could effectively play.
