Support and Accelerate Women's Inclusion (SAWI)
Abstract
Persistent economic disparities and workplace inequality globally, especially in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, are highlighted in the executive summary. It underscores significant progress made over the past decade towards workplace and economic inclusion, driven by multi-stakeholder mobilization. Specifically, the SAWI project is mentioned as part of this effort, aiming to promote dignified and inclusive workplaces through collaboration across borders. Key findings from the project's indices, the "Knowledge is Power" (KIP) and "Lived Experiences" (LE), emphasize the need for actionable policies to address workplace discrimination and biases, particularly concerning women's access to recruitment, retention, and promotion opportunities. This underscores the importance of equal employment opportunities (EEO) legislation to drive organizational performance and improve gender parity in the region.
