The WE EMPOWER Program: Encouraging organizations to become
signatories of Women's Empowerment Principles
Established in 2018, and set to conclude at the end of 2020, the
WE Empower Program is a joint initiative between UN Women, the
International Labour Organization and the European Union.
The program lays out seven Women's Empowerment Principles
that form guidelines for corporate action to promote gender
equality and women's economic empowerment. They range from
commitments on health and safety and transparency and
accountability to supply chain diversity and professional
development.
Tune in to episode 6 of Diversonomics season 4 as hosts Roberto
Aburto and Cindy Kou speak with Camille Beaudoin, junior consultant
and program assistant for the WE Empower Program in Canada, about
advancing gender equality in the workplace — and how work
environments will change drastically over the next decade.
