VO: Colleen Larsen, CEO of Business Engage Association NPC, says: “We have heard it said that
gender diversity is not being taken seriously in South Africa. But we know this is not true; it is
just that the stories are not being told.”
VO: “Mainstreaming” surpasses integrating women into the workplace and government, and
taps into the knowledge, interests and experiences of men and women for optimal
organisational performance and the betterment of the economy.
