NEW YORK - Feb. 12, 2014 - PRLog -- From March 6 to 8, 2014 the Workshop on Women’s Empowerment will hold at the United Nations Headquarters, UN Plaza, New York, USA.  This program is held in celebration of the International Women’s Day 2014 where the political and human rights theme designated by the United Nations is presented, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are examined, with a view to empowering women.  It is organized by Africa to America Productions LLC in New York.  To participate in the workshop, requests should be sent by email to events@africatoamerica.net or by sms to +1-646-675-3020.

Empowering women to participate fully in economic life across all sectors is essential to build stronger economies, achieve internationally agreed goals for development and sustainability, and improve the quality of life for women, men, families and communities.

The UN Women’s Empowerment Principles offer practical guidance to business and the private sector on how to empower women in the workplace, marketplace and community.  Developed through a partnership between UN Women and the United Nations Global Compact (http://www.unglobalcompact.org/), the Principles are designed to support companies in reviewing existing policies and practices – or establishing new ones – to realize women’s empowerment.

Introduced on International Women’s Day 2010,  the Principles emphasize the business case for corporate action to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment and are informed by real-life business practices and input gathered from across the globe.
