🌍 In 2015, the world embraced the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with gender equality and women’s empowerment central to its mission. This agenda builds on past global agreements and labor standards to address these vital issues. 💼 The WEPs are essential for businesses aiming to advance gender equality and achieve the SDGs, especially SDG 5, which focuses on empowering all women and girls. Integrating WEPs into your business strategy can drive meaningful progress and demonstrate your commitment to these global goals. 🏢 The private sector's role is crucial in achieving SDG 5. By adopting WEPs, businesses can lead the way in creating inclusive workplaces and equitable opportunities, driving significant change and demonstrating leadership in gender equality. 🎥 Check out our webinar which explored the powerful link between WEPs and the SDGs.

🙋♀️Care work encompasses both direct, personal, and relational activities such as feeding a baby or caring for an ill partner, as well as indirect activities like cooking and cleaning. 💔Despite its critical role in sustaining economies and societies, care work remains largely unrecognized, undervalued, and underpaid. 👊The private sector must prioritize support to their employees to manage their work and family responsibilities. 💡Read the new blog post about why your company should care about care, and learn from UN Women Asia and the Pacific's programmes and WEPs signatories.
