Overview

• LA NACIÓN hosted the 11th Mujeres Líderes forum, where speakers underscored the message that talent has no gender and reopened the debate on women’s roles in business.
• Natura Argentina’s Verónica Marcelo cited a 27% gender pay gap and noted that women hold under 18% of seats on boards of the country’s largest companies.
• Panelists pressed for concrete steps including equal pay for the same roles, parental leave implemented by family choice, and structured mentoring to develop careers.
• Marcelo highlighted Natura’s social targets: a 10% improvement in the Human Development Index of its entrepreneur network by 2030 and a dignified income for roughly 3 million Latin American entrepreneurs by 2050.
• Speakers urged companies to keep equity embedded in strategy even during economic stress, pointing to norms that still assign most household tasks to women in six of ten cases.
