As a world professional career women association, BPW (Business & Professional Women) is an international organization for women in professional practice. Women’s participation in social events as well as economic activities is considered the core factor to enhance national competitiveness.

Hence, when it comes to women power use, every nation deals with it in quite a passionate manner while it puts concentration not only in system construction but also in infrastructure improvement so that it can develop its women power resources.
In consideration of how the whole world is interested in women power use as mentioned above, in this session, WEP (Women’s Empowerment Principles) developed and introduced by BPW, UNIFEM (United Nations Development Fund for Women) and UN Global Compact will be widely promoted while how to increase women power in the 21st century as well as how to make sexual equality pursued by WEP work with any regular company culture are discussed. Furthermore, the session will observe the present and future status of women’s social activities in many different fields from the economy to diplomacy and the national defense.

BPW (전문직여성) 한국연맹의 세션으로 전문직에 종사하는 여성들의 국제적인 조직인 BPW의 회원들을 중심으로 21세기의 여성의 보다 활발한 사회활동과 경제활동을 도모하기 위한 발표의 장입니다.

여성의 경제활동을 비롯한 사회참여는 국가경쟁력 강화를 위한 핵심적인 요소 중 하나입니다. 따라서 여성인력자원 개발을 꼽을 정도로 여성인력 활용은 매우 중요한 부분입니다. 이에 BPW 세계연맹이 UNIFEM (UN여성개발기금)과 UN Global Compact가 개발하여 발표한 WEP (Women’s Empowerment Principles-여성권한강화원칙)를 널리 알리고, 21세기에 있어서 여성의 역량강화를 어떻게 구현해나갈 것인가, WEP가 추구하는 양성이 평등하고 공정한 기업문화 구현을 어떻게 이루어나갈 것인가에 대하여 토론하며 더 나아가 경제, 외교, 국방 등 다양한 분야에서 여성의 사회적 활동의 현주소 및 미래를 위해 토론합니다.
