We have set aspirational goals against which our global leadership monitors progress and we have developed consistent global standards spanning the entire career lifecycle—from recruitment, promotion and succession processes to development, mentoring, sponsorship and agile/flexible working. Deloitte firm CEOs have committed to deliver on these initiatives and report progress to the Deloitte Global CEO, Deloitte Global Executive and Deloitte Global Board of directors on a regular basis.
It’s 2024, but millions of women and girls are still not able to realise their full potential. At Deloitte, we know that our focus on women’s equality and empowerment cannot end at our own walls.
Through our WorldClass social impact programmes we are committed to building #BetterFutures. That includes helping enable access to quality education and training, economic empowerment and business and #STEM skills for women and girls, like the ones featured in this film. In 2023 alone, we supported over 1200 programmes across more than 90 countries. Learn more about how we are forging a more inclusive world for women and girls.
Deloitte is proud of the role it plays in breaking down barriers to education—making science, technology, engineering and math more accessible to girls around the world. See how Deloitte Africa is helping to inspire the next generation of change makers like Marème.
Potential can be limitless when women and girls are given the right opportunities. See how Deloitte India is helping to empower young women like Kajal to achieve their dreams through mentorship, education and career guidance.

Each year, millions of people in rural areas of China travel to cities to pursue economic opportunities, while some of their children remain in their local communities to attend school. See how Deloitte China volunteers are providing guidance to girls like Wei to nurture growth and help them to reach their full potential.
Migrant women often face barriers to employment. But with the right support, tools and resources, a more equitable workforce is possible. See how Deloitte and the Young Women’s Trust are helping empower women, like Hend, to thrive in the workplace and take their seats at the table.
Deloitte stands against violence against women. As part of the United Nations’ “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence” campaign we are advocating for a world free of gender-based violence and promoting education to drive change. With 1 in 3 women worldwide experiencing violence, it’s imperative that we take action to prevent violence and advance women’s equity at work and in our communities. The video below shares some of the statistics around violence against women and serves as a call to action to us all to take a stand and commit to taking steps to combatting this violence.
