In the fall of 2015, IOM Director General William Lacy Swing announced the mandatory completion of the UN Women Training Centre's I Know Gender Course, with the aim to build awareness and understanding on gender issues. A race was launched among all IOM offices to complete the course. Since then, over 3270 IOM staff around the world, have completed the course. The UN Women Training Centre congratulates these efforts and hope that other UN Agencies will follow in their footsteps.
