Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) signatories champion Paternity Leave in Guyana
UN Women, under the Spotlight Initiative is engaging the private sector in Guyana to become champions for ending violence against women and girls using the Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs). By joining the WEPs community, CEOs signal commitment at the highest levels of the company, to work collaboratively in multistakeholder networks to foster business practices that empower women. These include equal pay for work of equal value, gender-responsive supply chain practices and zero tolerance against sexual harassment in the workplace.
Eight (8) private sector companies in Guyana have created Gender Action Plans and are implementing policies that align with the WEPs which includes Paternity Leave.
