Women Empowerment Principles (WEPs) take center stage at the 15th Annual Meeting of APEC Women Leaders Network in Tokyo

Global NGO and WEP champion, the International Federation of Business and Professional Women (BPW International), supports UNIFEM and UN Global Compact offices to promote the WEPs at local and regional meetings around the world, including at the recent APEC Women Leaders Network (WLN) meeting in Tokyo, 19-21 September. The WEPs were included in the approved recommendations to APEC Leaders and Ministers on the theme: 'Creation of New Global Economic Activities by Women - Realization through People, Nature and Culture.'"

The WEP Toolkit for BPW affiliates will be available shortly and will include the CEO Statement of Support. BPW seeks to contribute 100 signatories to UNIFEM's goal of 1,000 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day, March 8th 2011. We will aim to have each of our 5 Regions contribute 20 signatories to achieve this goal. With your hard work and support BPW International is confident that we will reach 100 signatories by March!
