Gender balance among finance workers organised in UNI Finance is nearly fifty-fifty. As a result, the Steering Group decided to propose that this is in future also reflected in the UNI Finance Rules:



"At least 40% of the combined number of titular members and their substitutes from each Region shall be women and at least 40% men.

The difference between the number of men and women on the Steering Group does not exceed one:

  • among the titular members from each Region and their substitutes;
  • among the titular members from each Region."



The provision would apply to both the world steering group and its regional equivalents.



Currently, the proposed text already applies for UNI Europa Finance. In other regions, different and less stringent rules apply. The applicable world rules only require that each gender is represented by 1/3 of members.



The proposal will be circulated to affiliates. The final decision is then up to the UNI Finance Conference in March 2011.
