For an equal gender world:  increase women in senior roles worldwide

 

The need for gender equality in the workplace has been recognised as a critical issue for decades. However, women still remain under-represented within many organisations worldwide, and strikingly so at the most senior levels.

Global Careers, the leading provider of Online Careers Fairs has teamed up once again with major international organisations such as UNOPS and CTBTO for the 7th edition of the Global Careers for Women in International Organisations’ recruitment Event on the 12 March 2020.

This unique career event is a great opportunity for senior professional women around the world to speak with leading international employers about their next career move. Candidates and recruiters will be able to engage live 1-2-1  and discuss career opportunities from the comfort of their home, office, smartphone or tablet.

UNHCR, UNOPS, OSCE, IDB and CTBTO have already confirmed their participation and the full list of participating organisations will be released shortly. Stay tuned!!


UNOPS leadership has made gender parity a priority for the organisation. This strategy reconfirms the organisation’s commitment to targets beyond the initial, Phase One targets set by the Secretary General’s UN System-Wide Gender Parity Strategy. UNOPS is committed to exceeding the UN System-Wide targets by not only meeting the targets for parity amongst International Staff members, but it is also committed to achieving parity amongst all its international personnel regardless of contract type. Additionally, UNOPS is committing to gender parity across the entire, global UNOPS workforce including both national and international personnel.

CTBTO Executive Secretary Lassina Zerbo highlighted women’s contribution to the nuclear test-ban: “Women were and are the driving force behind the ban on nuclear testing. The civil society movements that pushed for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in 1996 and its predecessors were to a large extent grounded in women’s initiatives.
