As a company policy, empowering women is a number one priority since the company believes women are naturally gifted in language related competencies. Despite our commitment and aspirations, though the number of shareholders and full time employees show almost balanced figures, unfortunately, the number of our female freelancers happened to be very low.

As discussed above, Ethiostar needs to work a lot to increase the number of female freelance employees by March 2024. The present data shows unpleasant results despite the commitment of Ethiostar for equal job opportunity.
