Care for people and care for the planet is lying at the core of our values. We are dedicated to building capacities among people and institutions to create a society that respects human rights and dignity of all women, men and trans; a society that is just, fair, happy, healthy, tolerant and caring.
Research and scientific data show growing evidence of the fact that gender equality is critical for building peaceful, sustainable, innovative and flourishing societies. Gender equality contributes to unleashing the potential of the female half of world’s population by allowing and ensuring them to fully enjoy their human rights, to have equal access to education, health, and resources and to contribute to human well being, to human wealth creation and sustainable economic growth. The current emerging technologies and innovations require tapping into the full pool of human talent worldwide in order to build a sustainable future with quality of life and wellbeing for all.
How do we go about that?
As a principle we use the human rights based approach (HRBA). Gender equality is a question of human rights and social justice, enshrined in the constitution of most countries, and as such a political mandate for the majority of governments worldwide. Gender Equality Policies and Gender Action Plans at institutional level are always embedded in the wider existing (inter)national legal and policy frameworks. OQ Consulting is fully familiar with all key international legal and policy frameworks related to the promotion of gender equality. Our training materials and methodology are based on many years of experience in designing and delivering tailor-made trainings, which lead to gender transformation at individual and institutional level. Our team has developed practical methodologies, tools and strategies to help with institutional capacity building, training and gender mainstreaming in policies, programmes and projects.
