NAMA Urges Public And Private Institutions To Take The Gender Equality Pledge

In the run up to the UAE’s first Women’s Economic Empowerment Global Summit (WEEGS) scheduled to be held on December 4-5, 2017 at the Expo Centre Sharjah, organisers NAMA Women Advancement Establishment (NAMA) and UN Women are calling upon all sectors of society to pledge a commitment to action for Women Economic Empowerment.

NAMA and the UN Women are calling on governmental departments, academic institutions, non-governmental and international organizations, SMEs, large corporations and multinationals, and even individuals, to adopt two of the Women’s Economic Principles (WEPs) which are developed through a partnership between UN Women and the United Nations Global Compact to support companies in reviewing existing policies and practices—or establishing new ones—to realize women’s empowerment in the workplace and community.
