AIA joins other Commonwealth Accredited Organisations in endorsing the Commonwealth Declaration for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women 22-30, an ambitious statement on gender equality and women's empowerment.
At their June 2022 meeting in Rwanda, the Commonwealth Heads of Government affirmed and strengthened their commitment to accelerate gender equality by continuing to take achievable, comprehensive and meaningful actions within their own countries and to strengthen their contribution to global efforts, through the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals and implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
AIA President Shahram Moallemi said, "As a Commonwealth Accredited Organisation we recognise the importance of diverse voices across corporate governance and the way this strengthens insight and scrutiny. We strongly endorse the Commonwealth Declaration for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women made at CHOGM and are proud to reiterate our commitment to achieving gender balance on AIA's Council."
