What businesses need to know about equality policies and the prevention of domestic violence in the context of the pandemic?

We continue to work with private sector companies and organizations to create the workplaces free from gender stereotypes and violence.

Together with 34 representatives of 11 companies and organizations, we held another webinar, which covered an important topic - what businesses need to know about equality policies and prevention of domestic violence in the context of pandemic?

All participants had the opportunity to learn both the international experience of responding to domestic violence, in particular during the speech made by Ms. Meltem Agduk, Program Coordinator, UNFPA Turkey, and the Ukrainian experience during the speech made by Olesia Kompaniets, Program Coordinator, UNFPA Ukraine.

The initiative to establish a Corporate Alliance, which will step up its efforts to achieve gender equality and prevent domestic violence, was launched last year. 21 companies and organizations already signed the Declaration in Support of Sustainable Development Goals 5 and 8. This and other webinars are held specifically for signatories to implement the model: to recognize, to respond, to establish effective partnerships and to measure.

Now we had the opportunity to listen to what this model looks like in practice. We would like to thank our partners from StarLightMedia for an interesting presentation of your incredible corporate program ‘Stars’ for young parents.
