Washington, May 24 (PTI) As the International Monetary Fund prepares to replace its disgraced former chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, women employees have called for a female boss at the helm of the financial institution, a media report said.
'CNN' claims to have obtained e-mails which suggest the female staff have for long been complaining about the male culture at the IMF and they now want a woman to run the global economic organisation.
In fact, in the e-mails exchanged among numerous female workers at the IMF late last week in response to a 'New York Times' article titled, 'At IMF, Men on Prowl and Women on Guard', women are bemoaning a "male dominated workplace" where "gender stats speak for themselves".
One female worker in her e-mail asks whether the IMF would be better off with a woman in charge "to end such a negative impression".
