Event recap: Accelerating Women's Economic Empowerment webinar

In conjunction with the 65th United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW 65), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Foundation for Women's Rights Promotion and Development jointly sponsored an international forum promoting gender quality. The forum, titled "Accelerating Women's Economic Empowerment," took place on Thursday, March 18 at 8:30 a.m. (EDT). It  focused on the pandemic’s economic impact on women and how the public and private sectors can take concrete actions to accelerate women’s economic empowerment, while also sharing Taiwan’s efforts and determination to achieve gender equality.

The webinar was moderated by Denise Scotto, Vice Chairman of the International Federation of Women in Legal Careers (FIFCJ). State Secretary of the Swedish Ministry of Gender Equality Karin Strandås focused on the pandemic’s impact on pre-existing gender inequality. She stated that both genders should enjoy equal economic rights, as economic rights are a key part of basic human rights, and that governments must apply a gendered perspective to policies and budgeting.

Taiwan’s Digital Minister, Audrey Tang, shared the country’s achievements in pursuit of gender equality. Minister Tang pointed out that Taiwan is the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, and “Equal Pay Day” (the day into a new year that women need to work until, in order to earn the same amount that men did in the previous year) has been lowered to February 20. Girls are encouraged to study STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) subjects in school, and 42% of Taiwan’s legislators are women. Overall, Taiwan has been promoting gender equality in a comprehensive and inclusive manner.

Lin Ching-Yi, Taiwan’s ambassador at large for women’s affairs, noted that the prevalence of more diverse voices, through means such as encouraging immigrant women to participate in public affairs, will help shape women’s policies and create a more inclusive society as a whole. She also provided examples of the strong support of women medical staff in mitigating the pandemic and shared relevant cases based on her medical background and prior legislative experience.

On the issue of investing in women’s empowerment, Algene T. Sajery, Vice President of the Office of External Affairs at the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), cited the U.S. government’s executive order to establish the White House Gender Policy Council on International Women’s Day this year as an example illustrating America’s commitment to achieving gender quality. She emphasized that the promotion of global women’s economic empowerment is the focus of DFC’s work, as its “2X Women’s Initiative” has catalyzed more than US$7 billion of investment in projects that are owned by women, led by women, or provide a product or service that empowers women.

Iliriana Gashi, executive director of Kosova Women for Women, discussed her organization’s progress and efforts in promoting gender equality. She also shared her organization’s innovative business incubator model, and its cooperation with BodyShop in order to attract companies to invest in gender equality.
