Davies report says no more all-male boards on FTSE 100
BBC News reports that FTSE 100 companies have doubled the  number of female board members in the past 4 years after setting voluntary goals. Women now make up 25% of the top 100 boards, but more needs to be done. Former UK trade minister Lord Davies plans to tackle this, in part, by implementing a series of "equality-boosting measures" which the UK Government hopes to introduce in the first half of 2016.

Nepal's parliament elects nation's first female president - Associated Press

Binaj Gurubacharya reports that "Nepal has been trying to shift from a traditionally male-dominated society, where women are mostly limited to working at homes or on farms, to one in which women have equal access to opportunities and legal rights."
