Equality and care are among ICIP’s intrinsic values, and a gender perspective is a cross-cutting tool that guides the institution’s action throughout its various action lines. That is why ICIP has also decided to create its first Gender Equality Plan (available in Catalan), developed in a participatory manner by the fifteen people who make up the staff.
The plan will be valid until 2025 and has been designed with the following objectives:
- To ensure effective equal opportunities for ICIPemployees;
- To promote the integration of the gender perspective into ICIP’s organizational culture and management;
- To promote the values of gender equality, inclusiveness and respect for plurality among the staff and with external companies and individuals with whom ICIP works.
Methodology used
The elaboration of the ICIP Equality Plan has been carried out following the methodology proposed by the Directorate-General of Equality of the Department of Labor, Social Affairs and Families of the Government of Catalonia, and considering current regulations at the state regional level.
The plan has been elaborated based on the diagnosis carried out between October 2020 and February 2021 and considered current regulations regarding equal opportunities between women and men in the workplace and equality plans. It includes a total of 32 measures covering ten thematic areas.
To implement the plan, a negotiating committee has been set up, consisting of a representative of the institution, the employees’ representative and two additional members, with secretarial and coordinating roles, who are experts in inequality issues.
The ICIP Gender Equality Plan applies to anyone who works at ICIP: employees, regardless of their relationship with the organization, the members of the Governing Board, students doing internships at the institution and also third parties that provide services to ICIP, either through a contract awarded to them or through the company that they work for.
