“GENDER EQUALITY IS A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY”

FIX THE SYSTEM
Fix the systems and norms that perpetuate the global gender gap; and don’t pigeonhole gender equality as a women’s issue.

WOMEN & MEN
Develop workplace policies and programmes that support women as mothers and men as fathers, with sufficient paid maternity and paternity leave.

INCOME EQUALITY
Make fair pay the minimum standard, and income equality the new priority. The income gap is the difference in total wages earned by women vs. men, rather than just the wages between similar positions.

Improving the bottom line through gender equality.
