5. Han incidido los empeños contenidos en esta resolución en las comunidades a las que el Estado/la Sociedad Nacional/la institución presta servicios?
SíDescriba las repercusiones:
CRC’s commitment to advancing this pledge has resulted in an increase in women in operational leadership roles, including amongst its Rapid Response Managers. CRC worked to overcome barriers, such as inaccessible trainings, family responsibilities and cultural norms to address gender imbalances and developed a strategy to recruit more women. Today, the Rapid Response Manager team is made up of seven women and four men, who collectively integrate PGI components into operations and contribute to a culture of raising issues, addressing barriers and taking action in operations.
CRC has a strategic priority to be representative of the communities it serves, particularly within senior leadership and governance positions. In the past 5 years, CRC has examined barriers to women in leadership in attaining senior leadership roles, particularly within the recruitment and advancement process, and has made process changes to ensure it is more equitable. Canadian Red Cross has increased the representation of women in executive leadership positions by 10% resulting in gender parity in the executive team. The Governing Board of Canadian Red Cross is 60% women, and the current chair of the Board is a woman.
