Empower Her

About

Celebrate gender diversity and empowerment with the Empower-Her Champions competition! Born from a commitment to address gender disparities in Egypt’s private sector, this initiative invites companies to embark on a transformative journey. Inspired by the pressing need to bridge gender gaps in the workplace, we’ve identified three key focus areas: recruitment, retention, and career advancement of women. The competition journey begins with the submission of proposals, followed by a rigorous selection process. Winning concepts will receive funding and support to bring their initiatives to life, driving impactful change and reshaping the workplace landscape for the better. Through innovative gender-centric initiatives, participants tackle these challenges head-on, striving to create a workplace where every individual thrives, irrespective of gender. This competition isn’t just about winning; it’s about driving meaningful change. Join us as we champion gender equality and reshape the future of work.
