G20, Diana Bracco: “Female empowerment is an ethical ‘must'”

“Female empowerment is, at the same time, an ethical ‘must’, a powerful engine of inclusiveness, an effective tool to fight supporting inequalities, a fundamental lever of human rights and an effective way to tackle gender-based violence”. This was underlined by the president and CEO of the Bracco Group, Diana Bracco, speaking on the first day of the B20 Summit. However, Bracco underlined that “women’s emancipation is also one of the most powerful tools for promoting socio-economic growth and long-term sustainability”. For Bracco, moreover, “no country can excel without the contribution of women; this is why everyone must invest in the potential of women, committing themselves to the fight against all types of conditioning and discrimination”. For the president and CEO of the Bracco Group, “moreover, the most accurate projections show that the greatest engine of international growth in the near future will come from women in the world of work”. “The ‘Include – Reimagine – Grow’ policy framework created by our special initiative is a powerful roadmap for achieving gender equity based on a policy document outlining recommendations, tools and KPIs,” he continued. The 3 KPIs reported by Bracco indicate to “Include more women in the workforce and in high-growth sectors such as Stem. Our Bracco Foundation, for example, has drawn up a Manifesto that aims to facilitate girls’ access to Stem disciplines and effectively address stereotypes in families and schools; Reimagine a more inclusive society capable of breaking down gender stereotypes, focusing on skills for women to improve their role in society and developing them over time, starting with primary education and continuing through secondary education; Growing the economy by paving the way for women to leadership positions to achieve a greater balance of power between men and women. ” “The document – explained the CEO of the Bracco Group – suggests a skills-based approach to promote female employment. We must put an end to the mismatch between supply and demand for skills”. “We encourage the G20 – is the exhortation sent by Diana Bracco – to invest in gender medicine to ensure that the specific health problems of women are properly diagnosed and treated. It is a question of science and ethics”. “Now is certainly the time for leaders to be brave and finally be able to improve the role of women around the world. In addition to declaration and commitments, what we need is action. And to do that, we need to define KPI. clear and measure their results annually to make concrete progress “concluded Bracco who, addressing the ministers present and in particular the Minister for the Family Elena Bonetti, asked to do” so that companies are ready to share the burden and support you all along the path towards true emancipation for women “.
