ACADEMY ON GENDER, INCLUSION AND THE FUTURE OF WORK

Important and hard-won gender equality and diversity inclusion gains are eroding. The impact of the pandemic has threatened the livelihood of millions of workers, increased the gender gap and putting other vulnerable groups further away from obtaining decent work. How can we step-up actions to achieve gender equality and diversity inclusion, which are essential to deliver on the promise of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda? The E-Academy offered a global forum to learn from high-level international experts, discuss and share experience with practitioners and test practical approaches and innovative methodologies. OBJECTIVES During the four weeks, plenary sessions and hands-on learning journeys participants have: • Analysed the world of work and workplaces from a gender and non-discrimination perspective; • Identified measures to prevent and address workplace inequalities, discrimination, violence and harassment; • Focused on strategies and use tools for changing mind-sets, forging alliances and initiating sustainable change.
