Gender equality
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
Support for gender equality and women’s empowerment is a key part of our commitment to both our local communities and our employees #A culture of diversity and inclusion. We continue to develop programmes and initiatives to promote women’s empowerment and inclusive socio-economic growth within Hikma and our local communities.
Our ‘Dare to Dream Big’ programme in Jordan is a series of monthly education sessions focused on capacity-building and developing leadership skills for female employees.
Started in 2015, the programme is being rolled out to more Hikma countries.
2018 also marked the beginning of our mentorship programme with the Business and Professional Women Association (BPWA) in Jordan. The BPWA is a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering professional women in the Jordanian workforce. Through our partnership, 32 women from the BPWA will serve as mentors to women at Hikma over a six-month period, helping to promote their professional and career development.
