course: women, business and rights

The future of businesses is inclusive. Without a gender lens to comprehend the impact of business policies and practices, leadership will be unable to minimize discrimination against women in the workplaces, retain talent, increase profits and make a positive impact to India’s GDP. The Genpact Centre for Women’s Leadership (GCWL), in collaboration with Gender At Work, and the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB), offered a week long course (14 – 20 May) in Delhi, that aimed to introduce participants to the linkages between women, business and human rights. The course, a blend of theory and practical guidance, equipped participants with the skills to develop strategies and assess business operation that are consistent with international standards on women’s rights.
