WIPO: A long wait for balance

“Simply stated, unless we have gender equality, humanity is not realising its full innovative and creative potential,” says Francis Gurry, director general of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

Gurry himself was one of the first to enlist with International Gender Champions, a leadership network that brings together decision-makers to break down gender barriers.

He committed to providing unconscious bias training to senior managers and providing individualised support for career and professional development to a minimum of five women per year in WIPO’s higher ranks.
