When women are in leadership roles—whether at the cabinet table or the boardroom table—better decisions are made. Building a Canada where it’s possible for more women to be at those tables is the work of leaders across the country, and it has been a priority for our government since…

As Minister of International Trade, Export Promotion, Small Business and Economic Development, I know how critical it is that women be empowered to engage more fully in the economic life of our country, especially in leadership roles.

The Rosenzweig report’s focus on women in Iran is a timely reminder that women have always been on the frontlines of change, even in the face of adversity. I’m extremely proud that our Women’s Liberal Caucus used our voices and digital platforms to politically sponsor 20 women prisoners

For 18 years, The Rosenzweig Report has provided us with critically important data charting the progress of women at the highest echelons of Canadian business. What sets this most recent report apart is that it also speaks to the broader human rights struggles of women globally – in countries like Iran, Myanmar, Afghanistan, and Russia.

We’re seeing gender rights trampled on the world over; from Putin’s Russia to Iran to the overturning Roe v. Wade in the United States. At age 21, I was a founding member of the Russian anti-establishment punk collective Pussy Riot. A year later, I was imprisoned for singing an anti-Putin song.

The beatings and torture. The unsanitary prison conditions. The loneliness, especially at night when sleep would evade me. The worries about my fate and that of my son and husband. I remember it all from prison. What kept me going was the trust and belief that others outside cared and were working for justice and my freedom.

For the past 18 years, the Rosenzweig Report has scrutinized how and whether women are progressing in business. Similarly, the National Black Canadians Summit, organized by the Michaëlle Jean Foundation, has looked at the situation of Black entrepreneurs…

Building a better future for me means having no borders, no racism, no sexism, and no war. As someone who was born in the Middle-East and experienced many ups and downs in my life because of the constant geo-political instability of Iran, dreaming of building a better future and…

In my decades-long commitment to the women’s rights movement, one thing has always been clear: we can’t address the world’s most pressing challenges without women at the table across all sectors from corporates, nonprofits, governments and at the grassroots level.

We need more women in leadership positions across the board. Allowing women to rise in the workplace unlocks greater impact for organizations, brings us closer to achieving gender equality, and accelerates the advancement of society at large. We have a long way to go, and progress is not guaranteed.

Women represent the archetypal divine feminine and our aspirations for beauty, intuition, nurturing, affection and tenderness. A leadership embodying those qualities could heal the world.

Diversity and equality are essential to a company’s success. Research has shown that companies with a diverse workforce are 35% more likely to experience greater financial returns than their non-diverse counterparts, and 70% more likely to capture new markets and a bigger audience.

When I first met Jay Rosenzweig at the NBA All-Star game in Toronto in 2016, he and his team had already been publishing the annual Rosenzweig Report on Women in leadership for more than a decade. And he’s still at it today – through maddeningly slow corporate progress, a global pandemic, and international upheaval.

Let’s get this straight… Women’s rights are human rights. But there’s zero doubt that this group has unique challenges their counterparts don’t. You would expect this working in tech and sports but it’s pervasive in all industries, even cosmetics and fashion.

I am passionate about making the lives of each and every individual on this planet physically, mentally, spiritually healthy through proper nutrition and care. Jay Rosenzweig is also passionate about making our world a healthier place.

If you are passionate about something, pursue it.

For almost 20 years, Jay Rosenzweig has been passionate about enhancing diversity and gender equality in society.

Jay Rosenzweig is an investor and a valuable advisor. He is not only a believer in blockchain technology and Web3, he is a staunch supporter of women founders and having the best people in place, regardless of gender, ethnicity or anything else.

Empowering women in leadership isn't just about checking a box, it's about unlocking the full potential of our teams and our world. Diversity is the key to unlocking innovation and progress, and women bring unique perspectives and skills to the table that are essential for success.

Progress starts when we have the courage to not only speak up about inequities but we also act to change what we know to be unjust. Jay Rosenzweig, who we so value as an advisor here at Community, takes action through The Rosenzweig Report.

The world needs women’s compassion to create, communicate and care in ways that address issues through their bodies, mind, and spirits. When women see a problem, they see solutions, and they go about them by addressing the fundamental issues that can lead to the birthing of new systems in work, politics, and cultural structures.
