and take on more caregiving - to help women advance in their careers For more women to advance in their careers, more men need to take the lead on child care, says Anne-Marie Slaughter Photograph: Alamy How many times has the women's movement believed it was approaching a tipping point in terms of gender parity in the world of business, only to see its hopes shattered? Despite decades of campaigning, progress continues to be glacial with conscious and unconscious biases leading to everything from poor female representation on company boards to a failure to achieve equal pay and a lack of work flexibility These workplace challenges were highlighted yesterday at the annual meeting of the Women's Empowerment Principles (WEP), which I chaired at the United Nations headquarters in New York For one thing, less than a tenth of the thousands of corporate members of the United Nations Global Compact, which organised the conference along with UN Women, have actually signed up to the eight voluntary WEP principles Joe Keefe, president and CEO of US investment firm Pax World Management, who this week won a WEP leadership award, says the issue of gender inequality is akin to apartheid "In different cultures it comes in different guises," he says "But it is still oppression and inequality and is the great human rights issue and business issue of our time." Press Clips – 6th Annual WEPs Event 5-6 March 2014, New York Women hold only 14% of US corporate leadership jobs, a percentage that hasn't changed in the last decade, notes Steve Almond, the chairman of global management consultancy Deloitte In continental Europe, that number is just 10% despite the fact that more women achieve college degrees than men, and the figures are even worse in other developed countries such as Japan One action Almond took was to ask male members of his 32-strong board to step aside so that women could take their places This led to the percentage of women jumping from a paltry 6% to 25% "In my experience, most of the male leaders of our big clients and the big companies around the world are not resistant to change," he says "They are just not recognising their own unconscious perpetuation of the status quo And until that is recognised, the pace of change will remain glacial." The change needs to come from the top, Almond says: "Too often, responsibility is delegated to Human Resource departments or another task force Organisational change happens when the CEO takes personal responsibility for a strategic objective and sets clear targets." Over her 40 years working for and with corporations, Barbara Krumsiek, CEO of US investment management company Calvert Investments, has had "a front row seat" in observing women's progress through their careers "While many companies have stated policies that would seem to support the growth and advancement of women professionally, there is all too often a lack of demonstrable performance against those stated policies," she said "I would encourage every senior leader to personally seek metrics and data that show policies are actually working – and I'd like to see companies disclose this data." The slow progress raises the question of whether the movement should carry on chipping away at the mountain of prejudice against women or whether an altogether new approach is necessary One reframing that certainly caught the attention of participants is the idea that for the women's movement to succeed, it needs men to rethink their own beliefs about their sense of masculinity and power Anne-Marie Slaughter, professor of politics and international affairs at Princeton University, says that it is essential for men to recognise that being a caregiver can give them the same status in society as succeeding in the workplace While many women are expected to juggle both their work and home lives, she points out that no male CEO has made it to leading the boardroom while also being the lead parent Slaughter, who stirred up controversy with her article, "Why Women Still Can't Have It All", in The Atlantic, said at the UN event: "We tell girls they can be caregivers, career women or any blend of the two We tell boys that their value is measured only by their earnings and status "Men need to value caregiving as much as bread winning We will not fully empower women if we have not fully empowered men This is not a woman's issue or a man's issue, but a human issue." Press Clips – 6th Annual WEPs Event 5-6 March 2014, New York The conflict many men feel is illustrated by a growing body of research which shows that while American men recognise they would like a better work-life balance, those men who prioritise family are stigmatised and viewed as weak Attitudes are starting to shift – helped by much more visible fathers in the public eye, from Brad Pitt to Barack Obama – Slaughter, who served as director of policy planning for the US Department of State, says we are only at the start of the journey She points to the mathematics If we want half of business leaders to be women, then that means some men will have to stop also competing for those jobs "My proposition is that we will not get there by focusing on women but on women and men," she says "We've had a lopsided revolution Men held the power and we thought, 'how we break into a man's world?' But unless an equal number of men move into caregiving, we are never going to get the balance we need Even though most couples both have to work, someone has to have the lead career – and right now, that's mostly the men, she added "The only way to get to 50% women is if 50% of the men are willing to be lead parent or caregiver for part of the career We are raising our daughters with more choices than our sons We tell men your value depends on how much money you make or how powerful you are, and not that you can be at home and have an unbelievable relationship with your kids You can be as masculine if you are the caregiver." If this sounds like mission impossible and "preposterous", Slaughter says it is no more radical than it was in the 1950s and 1960s to say women were not born to be in the home She also points out that cultural mores change and that while at the time it appeared weird to introduce the woman's prefix of "Ms" in addition to "Miss" and "Mrs", the change had been critical in breaking female stereotypes Of course, it's not just up to men to change their behaviour Slaughter says mother-in-laws also need to change their perceptions of what their daughters' husbands Perhaps even more difficult, although essential, is for women to let go of some of their control in the home if men are to be primary caregivers As Slaughter says, women must allow "guys to it their way" Press Clips – 6th Annual WEPs Event 5-6 March 2014, New York http://www.womenofchina.cn/html/womenofchina/report/171606-1.htm Proya to Work with UN Women to Promote Women's Employment By Sylvia Liu Women of China March 24, 2014 One of China's leading cosmetic brands, Proya, is to continue work with the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) to promote gender equality and women's

and UN Women, and are adapted from the Calvert Women's Princples The development of the WEPs included an international multi-stakeholder consultation process, which began in March 2009, and culminated in a launch on International Women's Day in March 2010 Press Clips – 6th Annual WEPs Event 5-6 March 2014, New York The 6th Annual WEPs event, with the theme of 'Gender Equality and the Global Jobs

Required to Increase and Improve Women’s Work Opportunities UN Global Compact / UN Women March 6, 2014 Nearly 700 Companies Champion the Women’s Empowerment Principles, Commit to Advance Gender Equality, Reduce Discrimination and Monitor Progress (New York, March 2014) – Gender equality and women’s economic empowerment are essential drivers in expanding economies worldwide When more women work, economies grow As the private sector is the engine driving 90 percent of today’s jobs, addressing chronic gender equality must be a top priority for the business community as well as other stakeholders This was the message delivered today at the 6th Annual Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) Event, Gender Equality and the Global Jobs Challenge Ahead of International Women’s Day, 250 leaders from business, Government, civil society, and academia joined UN Women and the UN Global Compact in highlighting not only the challenge, but also policies, models and lessons to realizing gender equality in the workforce “I applaud the companies and leaders that have signed onto the Women’s Empowerment Principles By promoting women’s equality, we make progress for all,” said Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, UN Women Executive Director “When we empower women and girls through education and training, and support their full participation and leadership through equal opportunity, we advance equitable and inclusive economic growth and reduce poverty It’s a win-win situation.” According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), between 45 and 50 million new jobs are needed each year over the next decade just to keep up with the growth of the world’s working age population and reduce the unemployment caused by the global financial crisis “Meeting the global jobs challenge with approaches that ensure fairness for women and men is central to the business, gender equality and post-2015 development agendas Indeed, success is interdependent,” said Georg Kell, UN Global Compact Executive Director “We’re very pleased that so many companies are embracing the WEPs and helping to expand opportunities for women in the global job market and eliminate gender job discrimination.” Nearly 700 CEOs, representing a global group of leading corporations, have already made a public commitment to support and implement the WEPs These organizations recognize the economic and social benefits of women’s empowerment – empowering women is not only the right thing to do, it makes sound business sense Companies implementing the WEPs — frequently as an outcome of their business strategy to prioritize gender equality — develop programmes to measure pay equity and promotion practices; take steps to address unconscious bias; develop family-friendly policies and practices; increase access for women and 94 girls to science and technology education; develop products and services; and leverage their business networks to support women entrepreneurs through gender-aware
