6.2.2. COMPOSITION OF EXECUTIVE BOARDS OF ITALIAN ORGANISATIONS
Across the Italian organisations in SA that responded to this question, there were a total of 210 members on executive boards. Interestingly, the overall proportion of women was similar to that of the members of these organisations with 41% of the executive board members being women (Figure 4), corresponding to a total of 86 women.
When looking at the distribution in individual organisations, there were more organisations with a lower proportion of women on their boards (Figure 5), with 14 organisations (54% of the 26 respondents) having more men than women, and 5 organisations (19%) having no women on their executive board. By contrast, only 10 organisations (39%) had more women than men on their executive board and only one executive board was totally composed of women (indicated by an arrow).
