Action Against Hunger has a commitment to equality and a mission to contribute to effective equality between women and men.
We have the tools to achieve this necessary commitment:
- Equality Plan with the mission of being an effective tool for working towards equality between women and men.
- A 5-year strategic plan with objectives that include actively working for equality and diversity.
- People management policies that ensure effective equal treatment and opportunities throughout the life cycle of our employees.
- An international gender strategy that sets out the Gender Minimum Standards and is structured through various bodies:
- Gender Unit: The International Gender Unit provides technical gender support to the Action Against Hunger international network at both programmatic and institutional levels and is managed by Action Against Hunger Canada. The main areas of work are support for the whole network with the implementation of the gender policy and strategy and the mitigation of gender-based violence, the implementation of the Gender Minimum Standards and gender qualification, the coordination of the gender working group, external representation, partnership and communication.
- Gender Working Groups: Teams of people responsible for implementing gender action plans in a cross-cutting manner at all levels of the organisation.
