促进全球供应链中的性别平等

Before the Gender Equality program is deployed we conduct a baseline survey to understand the current gender equality policies in place and their employees’ awareness of gender equality. Results of the baseline surveys from our pilot program showed:

Key Findings from the Baseline Survey

• 34% of management and 35% of workers did not know the factory had existing written gender equality policy documents
• 45% of management and 39% of workers did not know that there were grievance and appeal channels in the factory they could utilise when faced with gender-based discrimination, unfair treatment, workplace violence, or sexual harassment at work
• 40% of management and 56% of workers disagreed that giving priority to hiring a male employee with the same qualifications and under equal conditions as a female employee was a form of discrimination against female employees
• 28% of management and 43% of workers agreed that sexual harassment can be caused by wearing sexy clothing or the appearance of female employees

The baseline survey gives us an insight into the understanding of the concept of gender equality within the factories before we can deploy any learning. Once we have introduced the program, delivered management and worker training, and provided the resources to the factories to improve workplace policies and education on the matter, we perform an impact assessment measuring this progress.
