Charity Project PK policies to improve women’s rights begins internally with our own staff.
In 2021 we set up a Gender Equality Steering Group, headed by a female member of our Board of Trustees and co-chaired by two female employees, and including representatives from all levels of the organisation.
This group recommends practical solutions that we can take forward to advance gender equality – in particular, how we can improve female staff’s career progression within Charity Project PK and how we can enhance the selection and recruitment of women in leadership positions.
The steering group is consulting with staff at all levels to review our organisational culture and how we can continue to make our working environment more positive for women. The group aims to realise the organisational objectives set out in Charity Project PK wider Women’s Rights policy.
Charity Project PK are committed to closing the gender pay gap, and dedicated to enabling women to realise their rights and to build a fairer, more equal world for everyone.
We are committed to increasing female representation at our senior levels, improving the working lives of women throughout the organisation, and providing a conducive, safe and flexible working environment for everyone.
To help us close the gender pay gap, we have launched a range of initiatives to recruit and retain a diverse workforce where women are represented at every level of the organisation.
Closing the gender pay gap is just one of the many aspects of our women’s rights work around the world.
