Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs)

The Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) are guidelines developed by UN Women and the UN Global Compact to promote gender equality and empower women in the workplace, marketplace, and community. They encourage businesses to create fair policies, provide equal opportunities, and foster diverse, inclusive environments. By following these principles, companies can support women’s rights, improve performance, and contribute to broader social and economic development. Essentially, WEPs help organizations understand how to effectively promote gender equity and create positive change within their operations and society.
