Advancing gender equality strengthens societies as a whole – democracy, stability, and economic well-being. Neither steps backward nor backlashes can be afforded in gender equality.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
I will promote gender inclusivity in programmes, projects, and policies in Vienna Based Organisations by promoting gender transformative or gender-neutral language, including in all statements delivered on behalf of Finland as well as promote women’s empowerment and increase the meaningful and equal participation of women by focusing on nominating and facilitating the participation of women representatives and experts, including gender experts, in meetings, panels, and side events at the Vienna Based Organisations.
I will work to prevent sexual harassment in the work environment by committing to a zero-tolerance policy against sexual harassment, and by facilitating and engaging in a continuous and open dialogue with employees about sexual harassment.
