“Empowering women and fighting gender inequality is key to CARE International’s ambitions to make poverty history. Injustice and the violation of human rights, most gravely manifested in the discrimination of women, are our biggest global challenges today. By tackling those we need to lead by example, in international hubs like Geneva as well as in all our operations worldwide.”

I, Wolfgang Jamann, support the GGC Panel Parity Pledge.

As the Secretary General/CEO of the CARE International Secretariat, I commit to also undertake the following:

• To build an HR and recruitment policy which identifies best practices in HR relating to gender equality, and fosters a positive global culture at all levels of the organization.
• Ensure visibility and regular reporting of gender equality in our CARE 2020 strategic framework.
• Visit a gender or women’s empowerment project in every field visit and communicate about it via the CARE International blog.
