BPW Workshop on "Corporate
Social Responsibilities to Empower Women
Economically" at UN Headquarter
during the 52nd session of UN Commission
on Status of Women on 25 February 2008 was
a great success. There were speakers from
AMERICAN EXPRESS, BOVESPA (Brazil), Kiatnakin
Bank (Thailand) and United Nations Global
Compact. The workshop was held inside the
UN Headquarter and it was attended by almost
200 people.
BPW received a lot of compliment for this
workshop. It was great to learn about initiative
like American Express's "Make Mine
a Million" (which so far foster the
development of 23 businesses to pass 1 million
USD mark in income), BOVESPA's "Women
in Action", Kiatnakin Bank's varieties
of projects for women and children, and
UN Global Compact's effort in promoting
Corporate Social Responsibility projects
among private sector world-wide).
