Advancing Women’s Economic Empowerment
We believe that our approach allows us to better serve our clients, create a more vibrant workplace, and contribute to a more equitable and just society. Contributing to Women Empowerment At Kurdi & Co, we recognize the importance of women’s economic empowerment and inclusive growth, which are key goals of various multilateral institutions such as the UNO, ADB, and OECD.
Building Strong Partnerships for a Diverse Society
We understand that globally, only 55 percent of women are employed compared to 78 percent of men, and that women are paid around 50 percent less than men. In order to address this disparity, our firm maintains a 1:1 ratio between female and male employees, providing equal opportunities to the women of Gaza Strip and West Bank, where 37 percent of women are unemployed. Our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion enables us to approach our clients’ most pressing issues from various perspectives. Additionally, we provide pro bono services to numerous NGOs that work towards women’s empowerment.
At Kurdi & Co, we are proud of our extensive portfolio of partnerships with a diverse range of community organizations, nonprofits, and diversity-focused initiatives. Our firm actively collaborates with NGOs working in marginalized areas, women’s organizations, international agencies, youth programs, and many more. These partnerships exemplify our commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion beyond the workplace and reinforce our dedication to social responsibility. By working hand in hand with these organizations, we strive to make a meaningful impact on society and advance our shared goals of equity and justice.
