[Webinar] What Does Gender Equality Mean to Business- Training With UN Women
Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and, therefore, also half of its potential. Gender equality, besides being a fundamental human right, is essential to achieve peaceful societies, with full human potential and sustainable development. Moreover, it has been shown that empowering women spurs productivity and economic growth. In the business world, gender equality also matters. Companies having more women at top level positions are not only more profitable, but also more sustainable. To help our members and partners to have a better understanding on the gender equality issues, the European Chamber Nanjing Chapter is pleased to invite experts from UN Women China office to deliver a tailored training on the current development, outlook, and practice of gender equality.
