WHEN (previously known as Women On Top), in partnership with Always, a Procter & Gamble brand, presents the new #StopPeriodShaming guide, an initiative that aims to combat menstrual stigma.

This Guide is part of the "We Are With U: Raising Student Awareness on Gender Equality in the Workplace" project, which is implemented within the framework of the BUILD program, implemented by WHEN and partnered by the Hellenic Society of University Women (ELEGYP).

This tool was created as part of Ready for Work at Engineering, WHEN's specialized employability skills program for women looking for their first or second job in the energy sector, organized with the support of Motor Oil Group. With this program, 30 young women who are about to graduate or have already graduated from Engineering Schools, were equipped with the necessary tools and developed the skills they need to succeed in the Energy field.

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.

The Policy Road Map describes a summary of the comprehensive findings, discoveries, and initiatives undertaken within the framework of the Femin-ICT initiative.

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.

The purpose of this program is to provide women working in the ICT sectors and women wishing to enter the ICT sector, including students in any of these fields, with knowledge and skills that will make them able and empower them to overcome obstacles that have been put into their way by gender bias and other factors.

The Handbook for the design & implementation of mentoring programs was created as a part of this project, and it includes detailed guidelines and best practices for designing, implementing, and coordinating mentoring programs, along with useful resources on budgeting and funding such initiatives.

This toolkit is designed to help companies, organizations, incubators and academic institutions address this complex and multilayered issue by providing practical ideas and solutions.

Through this methodological tool we aim to empower each and every tech-related ecosystem to begin their journey towards creating more gender-responsive policies, practices and operations to support a more and more equitable ICT field in the process.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
