The World Federation Of Exchanges Announces The 11th Ring The Bell For Gender Equality Initiative

The World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) announces the 11th annual Ring the Bell (RTB) for Gender Equality event. This is a global initiative uniting exchanges and CCPs worldwide in their commitment to advancing gender equality in the workplace, marketplace, and broader community.

This year 123 exchanges and CCPs are participating, hosting bell-ringing ceremonies, events and workshops to celebrate and support women’s involvement in public markets throughout the month.

The WFE takes pride in the proactive efforts of our members, who continue to champion gender equality through dedicated initiatives and their active participation in RTB for Gender Equality. The 2025 events will continue throughout the month, details of which can be found on the WFE RTB for Gender Equality website.

This month the WFE also published its 2025 WFE Women Leaders List, and a special edition of Focus Magazine dedicated to this year’s honourees.

Nandini Sukumar, CEO of the World Federation of Exchanges, said, “Exchanges and CCPs play a crucial role in fostering inclusivity and empowering women within financial markets. By taking part in this initiative, our members are reaffirming their commitment to driving meaningful change and building a more equitable future for all.”

The WFE partners with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, UN Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) Initiative, UN Global Compact and UN Women in this initiative.
