The Bahrain Institute for Pearls and Gemstones (DANAT) signed the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), established by United Nations (UN) Women and UN Global Compact.
This underscores DANAT’s keenness towards fostering gender equality and empowering women across the workplace, marketplace, and society.
The seven WEPs principles advocate for high-level corporate leadership on gender equality, fair treatment of all employees without discrimination, enhancement of employee health, well-being, and safety, provision of education and training for career advancement, responsible project and supply chain development, community engagement and advocacy, and robust measurement and reporting.
By integrating these principles, DANAT demonstrates its recognition of the vital role companies play in achieving and promoting gender equality.
Noora Jamsheer, CEO of DANAT Institute, said that the principles align with DANAT’s values, within Bahrain’s commitment to women empowerment through initiatives led by the Supreme Council for Women.
Jamsheer emphasised that DANAT’s endorsement of the Women’s Empowerment Principles is rooted in the Institute’s recognition of women’s significant contributions at both social and economic levels.
