How to empower company CEOs to invest in gender equality policies and educational programs.
Gender equality (GE)
GE describes the concept that all human beings, both women and men, are free to develop their personal abilities and make choices without limitations set by stereotypes, rigid gender roles, or prejudices.
GE means that the different behaviours, aspirations and needs of women and men are considered, valued and favoured equally.
It does not mean that women and men have to become the same, but that their rights, responsibilities and opportunities will not depend on whether they are born female or male.
My Roadmap
What can I do to change the situation on
GE in the company I work for ?
First, answer the following
questions on scale 1..10:* 1 means “totally disagree”/ 10 means “ totally agree”
The company I work for is engaged in promoting GE GE is an important topic to be addressed at my company I never suffered any discrimination in my company I never witnessed any type of discrimination in my company Men and women have equal development opportunities at my company My manager promotes GE
More questions.. 1. How the company I work for could benefit from improving GE?
2. What is the main reason why GE have not been important topic in
my company so far?
