A new initiative was taken by the BSE & UN Women yesterday at the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) named 'FinEMPOWER' in accordance to support women’s empowerment towards financial security. These two giant firms have been working on this programme for a year to make it a grand success.

On the occasion of International Women's Day, the BSE and UN Women India have jointly formed the "Ring the Bell for Gender Equality" ceremony which aims to increase the investment by female leaders and entrepreneurs at BSE. Mr. Sundararaman Ramamurthy, the MD and CEO of BSE, and Ms. Susan Ferguson, the Country Representative of UN Women India, collaboratively ranged the bell for Gender Equality.

Mr. Sundararaman laid pressure to broaden the needs and diversities for firms from different cross sections of society, including demographics, age, gender, and geographies. He further said about the necessity of supporting women-owned companies or businesses to make the economies restart.

Women require more guidance and support to achieve or maintain their financial stability and need access to funds, said Ms. Susan.
