Rationalising city and state-wide policies to ensure that Survivor Narrative is used to inform progress.

Ms.sutherland Graduate Women Scotland Financial Provision for Older Women NAWO Age International Widows Rights International Women and the economy, Human rights of women, Women and poverty SDG 1 – No Poverty, SDG5 – Gender Equality, SDG8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth Securing increased Domestic Funding for Education to include equal and safe access to Digital Learning (2022) As well as educating young women on the necessity and benefit of taking earlier control of their pension there is work to be done in communities where migrants and refugees may be entitled to payments. As an ageing population it is even more important to educate women on the equalities faced in later life through pensions and widows payments. The pension gap is now expanding along with the pay gap and is not recognised by Govts Pensions for widows are often aimed at older women rather than young widows from conflict for example. In addition many men who are lost in combat are not declared dead which leads to delay in pension or other payments. as well as the gap created by maternity leave, many women give up work earlier than male counterparts to take on more unpaid caring duties. Educating young women around accessibility and necessity of pension contribution is a core aim. For example the Work of the WASPI women in UK is ongoing and highlights the topic allowing for further conversation. Intersecting Blindfolds: – where the Government does not accept the needs of the poor they cannot interact in society an da poverty cycle is created from which they cannot escape. By educating women on their rights they challenge not only their right to pension but other community matters. Equal pay for Equal work needs to be challenged – as this also impacts potential pension. So called ‘soft’ jobs need to be evaluated against the actual skills required not out dated job titles. eg secretarial work when its a female – personal assistant when its a man . all NFA’s can take this to Govt’s to have proper job assessments. Also links to the data disaggregation piece where the comparators are not...

Dr.Ovac?k TAUW Unique Collaboration for Women in the Earthquake Region in Türkiye Kagider, UN Women, Hepsiburada, Turkish Philanthropy Women and the economy, Women and poverty SDG 1 – No Poverty, SDG5 – Gender Equality, SDG8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, SDG17 – Partnerships to achieve the Goal Climate Change and Gender (2022) The project, which was carried out for women producers, women entrepreneurs affected by the earthquake, aims to contribute to the inclusion of women directly affected by earthquakes in the production process with training and mentoring support and to support social empowerment. My NFA can follow this example and create a similar project. Millions of women and children were affected by the earthquake that occurred on February 6, 2023 in southeastern Turkey. "Kagider" is a Turkish women's NGO working to support women's entrepreneurship. During the session, they talked about how they supported women after the devastating earthquake in Turkey. Women lost their homes and property and were left in poverty. They supported small women's initiatives, collaborated with a digital platform and tried to sell products produced by women. In this way, they were able to stand on their feet and contribute to the economy. It is a model for empowering women; many NFAs can collaborate with other sectors to support women entrepreneurs. UN Women supports such...

Ms.Oudraad GWI-NL Side event: PAVING THE WAY FOR A GENDER-EQUAL ECONOMY Nordic Council of Ministers , Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden Minister of Culture and Equality of Quality of Norway Lubna Jaffery gave the opening statement. Moderator Secretary General of Nordic Council of Ministers: Karen Ellemann Women in power and decision-making, Women and the economy, Education and training of women, Institutional mechanisms SDG4 – Quality Education, SDG5 – Gender Equality, SDG8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth Diversity in Teacher Education (2019), Women and STEM (2019), Promoting and defending human rights of women in universities and other post-secondary forms of education (2022) The same issues in the Nordic States apply in the Netherlands. Women’s labor market participation and economic independence are cornerstones in any gender-equal society. And we need affordable childcare irrespective of income. And joint parent leave, care of the children must be shared. Gender pay caps are getting smaller however challenges still remain also in the Nordic countries. In the public market the gaps are shrinking however in the private market there has been little development. A big issue is how to evaluate the different types of jobs on a gender-neutral bases. Although also the private market is aware of the problem. Also how to evaluate unpaid care work which is still mostly done by women! And also nursing jobs are still seen as mainly women’s jobs and low in value. Even in Finland equal pay is not yet fully implemented. The gaps are narrowing, the gab is about 16%, and to get there we need more tools to show the discrepancies etc. In Norway parental leave is 50 weeks for both partners and 64% of the population take this leave. The future will be technology driven. Women must also take part otherwise the males will keep on dominating. Thus more women in STEM, AI development and other male dominated professions. Also an employer must be critical employer, take courses thus realizing what the issues are an act accordingly. In June 2024 the ILO will be meeting and have care issues & gender equality high on the agenda. Care issues are seen as cost for society but it must also be been seen as an investment. Key is to analyze all jobs on a gender equal base. Within UWE and other regional groups of GWI make this a issue and learn from the more progressive...

The session was mainly to prove other types of healing for women refugees through meditation and other alternatives of healing like the Tree of life that Social Workers have been doing in countries like Germany to help women who needed to run from their countries because of war. Mental health is key for having a balance life, and improve new methods to have a better life like meditation could help with anxiety or, in this case, working with women and kids refugees. What needs to be done is to be open to another kind of healing for women who have been exposed to very aggressive conditions of...
