NEW DELHI. SCOPE recently hosted a high-level international delegation from 11 countries for a multi-disciplinary session titled “Gender Issues in the World of Work.” Coordinated by the V.V. Giri National Labour Institute under the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the visit brought together diverse representatives from the Parliament of Tanzania, the Constitutional Court of Mongolia, and security forces from Fiji and Liberia, alongside academic experts from Malawi and Uzbekistan. The interaction focused on fostering inclusive development and creating a level playing field across global workplaces. During the session, the critical role of WIPS (Women in Public Sector) was highlighted; as the largest organized group of women in India with over 16,000 members, it continues to lead the charge in leadership development, health, and capacity building under the aegis of SCOPE.
The deliberations also emphasized SCOPE’s commitment to data-driven policy changes, specifically referencing their landmark study conducted with the ILO on the impact of work-from-home models on women executives in Public Sector Enterprises. This comprehensive research serves as a blueprint for developing gender-sensitive policies that address modern professional challenges. By hosting such global dialogues, SCOPE aims to move beyond mere discussion toward measurable and lasting transformation for women professionals. The ultimate goal of these initiatives is to ensure that the systemic barriers and glass ceilings within the global workforce are not just challenged, but permanently dismantled to empower the next generation of women leaders.
