In our quest to achieve greater gender equality in the job market, we are launching a crowdfunding campaign to create WHEN, the first female-focused working, learning, empowerment, and advocacy hub with on-site childcare in Greece. 

In the FoWoSe program (Fostering women's social entrepreneurship) we collaborated with organizations from 5 different countries in Europe, to train and guide organizations involved in the promotion of entrepreneurship, so that they become more equal, first as employers, and then towards the entrepreneurs they support.

FEMIN-ICT is a collaboration between 7 organizations from Greece, Belgium, Cyprus, Italy, Stockholm, Spain and Sweden, which aimed to address the underrepresentation and difficulty of advancement of women in the Information & Communications Technology (ICT) sector, encouraging more women to enter the industry, giving them the tools they need to succeed, and promoting their equal participation, representation and treatment within the ecosystem.

The year 2023 was yet another year of growth for WHEN as we completed the first strategic plan we created in 2021. You will read many of its outputs and outcomes in this annual report.

Each year, the WHEN in Business Conference highlights initiatives, statistics and tools aimed at promoting equality and inclusion in businesses and organizations. In 2023, WHEN's Conference for Equality in Business took on the character of a Hackathon and welcomed real Diversity, Equity & Inclusion challenges set by our top sponsoring companies and organizations participating in the event.

Since January 2021 at WHEN we have been closely following the long-term efforts and progress of Norway and Iceland on the issue of the gender gap at work. Our study was carried out in the context of the project "Gender equality in the corporate world: what can we learn from Norway and Iceland about empowering women in business", through which we attempt to understand and record the practices and methods that helped the Norway and Iceland consistently top the rankings for gender equality in Europe.

The manual for preventing and combating sexual harassment at work is addressed to human resources executives, members of the management of companies and organizations, but also to executives of any department concerned with the cultivation of a culture of safety and respect in the workplace.

This handbook covers what sexual harassment is and isn't, the context in which it can occur, and the ways in which we can deal with it when we are put in a difficult position. It also includes how we should behave at work, to foster inclusion and respect, how we can set our own boundaries, along with small but important rules of conduct that will help us not to violate, even unintentionally, the boundaries of our colleagues. Finally, the handbook closes with the myths that we need to debunk if we want to make a meaningful contribution to addressing the phenomenon of sexual harassment at work.

Change is a collective effort and this guide is a comprehensive, practical handbook with tools that will facilitate the integration of the gender mainstreaming in organizations, for those who wish to better support their beneficiaries, to serve customers of all genders, to design more effective products and services, and collaborate effectively with all stakeholders related to their organization.

The guide includes a self-diagnostic tool, which helps organizations assess their structure internally in terms of their gender mainstreaming level, in their programs and operations. Then, based on the results, up to 10 easily applicable suggestions and practices are provided to strengthen gender equality in the processes followed, and to improve the practices used to promote women's social entrepreneurship.

This tool is aimed at organizations supporting entrepreneurship that offer training and business incubator and accelerator programs with a focus on social entrepreneurship, but need to improve their gender strategy to fully meet the needs of women entrepreneurs and to offer specially designed inclusive programs and support activities.

On May 11, 2021, WHEN held the Inclusivity Lounge online, as part of the Delphi Economic Forum, which was organized with the support of the US Embassy in Athens and under the auspices of the General Secretariat of Family Policy and Gender Equality.

Since 2020, the Inclusivity Lounge has been creating physical and online spaces for brainstorming and networking around the important issues of technology, economics, sustainability and health, and the ways in which these intersect with the many aspects of gender equality, diversity and inclusion.
