Panama Ports Company supports projects focused on the empowerment of women.
Gender violence and inequality is a very real issue
The lack of empowerment of women constitutes a form of critical inequality and while there are multiple barriers to women’s empowerment, violence against women and girls is both a cause and a consequence of gender inequality.
Aware of the role that as companies we must have in training, empowerment, leadership and in the generation of equal opportunities for women, Panama Ports Company, S.A. has been supporting projects focused on the empowerment of women through organizations such as “Fundación Mujeres en Positivo” that facilitate education and training programs to help women start small businesses through micro-financing.
Gender equality, in addition to being a fundamental human right, is essential to achieve peaceful societies, with full human potential and sustainable development. Women’s empowerment has been shown to boost productivity and economic growth.
“Fundación Mujeres en Positivo” works on free legal and psychological counselling for women victims of violence. They develop training programs and human talent in entrepreneurship, leadership, soft skills, technology, art and culture through a group of volunteers in various branches that seeks to develop the autonomies of the most vulnerable women in our country.
