Preamble
Komuge Community Initiative (KCI) is committed to serving and bringing development in communities. KCI adheres to gender equality and social change, and is at the forefront of women and girl child empowerment.
KCI’s code of conduct commits the organisation to conducting all its business with integrity, respecting the laws, cultures, dignity, and rights of individuals in all communities where it operates. KCI is obliged by law to exercise fair labour practices and to maintain a safe and healthy work environment for the staffs.
KCI aims to have a diverse staff in terms of gender, nationalities, beliefs, family relationships, or backgrounds. Fair treatment of all staff is essential, and KCI is committed to equal opportunities for all in accordance with the Equal Opportunities Commission.
Moreover, KCI aims to respect, promote, and defend the human rights of those affected by its activities in accordance with international human rights standards. KCI works actively to promote equality and prevent discrimination.
In this Gender Equality and Inclusion Policy, “gender” denotes a social principle rather than being a synonym for women, or as a shorthand for ‘men and women’. The policy aims to address inequities that may arise from social relations between individuals, as well as those between and within different groups within the institutional context of KCI.
