A modern UNRWA is one that promotes gender equality and parity in senior positions, provides an inclusive work environment and has zero-tolerance for sexual harassment in the workplace. I am very proud to be surrounded by strong professional female colleagues and will ensure that UNRWA is a place where everyone thrives, without discrimination.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
