EACE Statement: Ending Gender-Based Violence, Building a Future of Equality
The Ethiopian Association of Civil Engineers (EACE) clearly condemns all forms of violence, especially gender-based violence, which continues to impede the achievement of equity, inclusion, and social progress. As civil engineers, we recognize that building a better future extends beyond constructing infrastructure—it includes fostering safe, equitable, and inclusive communities for all.
Our Commitment to Change
1. Advocacy Against Violence
EACE is committed to raising awareness about the profound impact of gender-based violence and advocating for robust policies that protect the rights and well-being of women across all sectors, particularly in engineering and construction.
2. Empowering Women in Engineering
We are dedicated to increasing female representation and leadership in engineering by expanding mentorship programs and facilitating professional development tailored to women’s needs.
3. Promoting Inclusive Practices
EACE will ensure that all our initiatives, events, and projects are rooted in the principles of equality and inclusivity, creating safe spaces where every individual feels valued and respected.
4. Collaborating for Impact
Through partnerships with governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and industry stakeholders, EACE will champion programs and campaigns designed to prevent violence and promote gender equity in every facet of our society.
A Call to Action
We call on our members, partners, and the broader engineering community to join us in standing against gender-based violence. Together, we can amplify the voices of women, break down barriers to equality, and create a profession—and a world—where everyone thrives.
At EACE, our vision goes beyond building physical structures. We are building hope, equity, and a future where all people can live and work without fear.
Let’s stand together: End Violence Against Women. Build a World of Inclusion.
