Call to Action: Leveraging the WEPs Framework to Target Racism and Discrimination in the World of Work

The Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) provide a framework to help companies of all sizes deepen their commitment to gender equality in the workplace, marketplace and community. All current and future WEPs signatories can stand firmly against inequality, racism and discrimination and ensure that the perspectives, skills and talents of women from diverse backgrounds with different abilities and identities are represented and valued in company initiatives, programmes and decision-making. When implementing the WEPs, an intersectional lens must underpin strategies for advancing gender equality and targeting racism and discrimination in the workplace.
