The oil and gas industry is vast, with revenues of $3 trillion expected worldwide this year, according to IBISWorld, a business information and market research firm. And while the sector supports millions of jobs, those opportunities aren't being shared equally.
Women represent just 22% of employees in the industry worldwide, according to a 2017 report by the World Petroleum Council and The Boston Consulting Group -- a significantly smaller share than found in almost any other sector. Ogutu Okudo of Kenya is on a mission to change that.To help bridge gender gaps in the energy sector, Okudo founded Women in Energy & Extractives in 2011. The nonprofit operates in eight African countries and has grown to more than 4,000 members.
