As part of this dedication, we are proud to announce that Alex Apparels has entered the implementation phase to obtain the Egyptian Gender Equality Seal certification from the National Council for Women under the Women’s Economic and Social Empowerment Program (WESEP).
What Is the WESEP Program?
The Women’s Economic and Social Empowerment Program (WESEP) is a transformative initiative funded by USAID and implemented by Pathfinder International. Over four years, this program has focused on empowering women both economically and socially in their workplaces, homes, and communities.
WESEP’s primary goals include:
Ensuring Safe Workplaces: Establishing environments where women feel secure, respected, and valued.
Promoting Financial Autonomy: Empowering women to achieve financial independence and stability.
Eliminating Violence: Tackling violence in all its forms be it at home, in the workplace, or the community.
WESEP collaborates with key Egyptian governmental bodies, including the Ministry of International Cooperation, the Ministry of Social Solidarity, and the National Council for Women.
