WIN Chairperson Sharyne Fong says that key recommendations made from an ILO survey and last year’s convention will shape this year’s discussion.

We are hoping to establish some national policies around this plus also advocate this within the various organisation that will be present.

Under the theme ‘Championing Inclusivity, Blazing New Trails for the Future’, the convention will focus on fostering workplace equality, inclusive opportunities and advocating for policies that support unpaid care and working women.

This year also marks the introduction of the Green Star Awards, supported by the British High Commission.

Women delegates are invited to apply for recognition under different categories, with plans to expand the awards in the coming years focusing on Sustainable Business Excellence.
