Strategic approaches to reduce the gaps in gender parity in staffing 2016-2017
15 March 2015
| Position paper
Overview
Equality of women and men is a universal value that is fully supported by the United Nations. The effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life is one of the targets endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015, under Sustainable Development Goal 5, which aims "to achieve gender equality and empowerment of all women and girls".
This Strategy is a call to senior management to reduce the gap in equality in staffing to ensure that leadership roles and decisions are equally shared between the genders.
