In 2013, Gender Equality is more and better
If our society still needs to celebrate International Women’s Day, it is because we still have a great deal of work to do. Nevertheless, this post is intended to encourage us not to let our guard down and to continue working toward a fairer society. So let’s celebrate the small but important advances that Grupo Alares has achieved in recent years.
- At Fundación Alares, we have helped more women with disabilities—who face double discrimination—to receive training and improve their employment prospects.
- At Alares Social Centro Especial de Empleo, more than 70% of our workforce is made up of women with disabilities, in both middle-management and senior leadership positions.
- At Fundación Diversidad, we have helped more than 600 organizations sign the Diversity Charter, whose principle against gender-based discrimination is fundamental. In addition, many of its founding members are now holding awareness-raising events on equality between men and women and have become more consistent with the Charter.
- At Alares Empleo ETT, we have helped more than 85% of women with disabilities who were hired on a temporary basis to move into permanent positions within their organizations.
