TotalEnergies supports equal rights for girls and women
The Bel Isi Elimination of Violence Against Women (EVAW) Walk is an important initiative and TEP PNG is pleased to subscribe to this important service. The program offers a holistic suite of services and support that is necessary to respond to a complex issue, recognized in the Papua New Guinea National Strategy on Gender Based Violence.
TotalEnergies Exploration & Production Papua New Guinea (TEP PNG) joined the Bel Isi walk among hundreds of other Port Moresby city residents on Friday 25th of November 2022.
TEP PNG joined the walk with the intention to promote awareness about gender-based violence (GBV) at home, schools, public spaces, and at workplaces. This commitment is in line with the Company’s objective in achieving the United Nation Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) which aims is to encourage equal rights for girls and women, opportunities to live free without discrimination including workplace discrimination or any violence.
Our continuous support to initiatives like the EVAW aims to build greater connections, partnership and platforms for collective learning and action to shape a better society for everyone.
Participating in the Bel Isi Elimination of Violence Against Women (EVAW) Walk is an opportunity for TotalEnergies to join with other corporations and stakeholders to create greater awareness for staff and the public.
"We had a really good time all together. It is important to support such initiative. The least that we can do is to participate in this walk as part of our commitment in achieving the United Nation Sustainable Development Goal on Gender Equality, hoping that the message behind this initiative reaches everyone,” said the Public Affairs and Communications Manager, Mr. Richard Kassman.
