What began in 2022 as an initiative to support women’s professional development is becoming a growing global network.

Now in its third edition, with the support of the European Union, the IOE Mentorship Programme for Women in Business continues to connect women leaders and emerging professionals across countries, creating opportunities to share knowledge, build confidence and forge lasting connections.

🎥 Listen to Nancy Chenard, Secretary General of @Unicongo_242, explain how the programme inspired her and how she has been putting that inspiration into action in her own country.

A powerful reminder that when we invest in women, the impact can reach far beyond where it began.

🇨🇴 Colombia takes steps to strengthen legal certainty in labour regulation

Colombia’s Ministry of Labour has removed 11 administrative circulars following a legal review.

According to the legal assessment, the circulars had introduced requirements, procedures, or criteria without sufficient legal basis, going beyond their intended role as administrative guidance.

Colombia’s National Business Association (@ANDI_Colombia) welcomed the decision as a step towards clearer rules, greater transparency and stronger legal certainty for employers and workers. Existing rights and protections remain unchanged.
