Celebrating Equality – SEKEM launches its Gender Strategy

Event: Celebrating Equality – SEKEM launches its Gender Strategy

Since the very beginning, SEKEM (and all its institutions) is focussing on gender equality and diversity. Still, in 2015 SEKEM started to formulate a dedicated strategy within the project to empower women for a balanced society. And even though the strategy is applied since months, we decided to CELEBRATE EQUALITY and officially present the strategy.

Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance. – Kofi Annan
