    This International Women’s Day, Liberty Latin America Ltd. (“Liberty Latin America” or “LLA”) (NASDAQ: LILA and LILAK, OTC Link: LILAB) has further demonstrated its commitment to advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment in the workplace and across communities by joining the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) community.

    Across the region, Liberty Latin America is determined to work collaboratively to foster business practices that empower women including equal pay for work of equal value and zero tolerance for any forms of harassment in the workplace. The Company is already taking action in support of the seven WEPs with notable progress in a few areas.

    • In 2021, the Company launched its gender-based violence (GBV) policy which is available to the public on its website for other organizations to use as part of the global effort to stop violence in all forms.

    • In 2022, the Company partnered with the United Nations Foundation and the Spotlight Initiative to support the WithHer Fund providing resources to supporting local community development programs that are contributing to gender equality and women’s empowerment. Additionally, the Company worked together with the Society of Women Coders to launch an initiative aimed at empowering the next generation of women leaders in technology fields. The partnership provided the opportunity for 800 young women across the Caribbean and Latin America to participate in a 20-week virtual course focused on digital literacy, web development, and coding skills.

    • In 2023, the Company's operations in Jamaica partnered with government bodies to establish a free helpline for survivors of gender-based violence and is working on plans to extend the offering to additional markets across the region in 2024.

    Chief People Officer, Kerry Scott, commented, “In our seventh year of actively prioritizing gender equality, we continue to utilize International Women’s Day as an important moment to share our progress including the implementation of several new policies in the region such as paid parental leave, hybrid working environments, employee assistance programs, and in 2023, establishing our employee resource group, ELLAS, which has become a very proactive group seeking to empower women to thrive and reach their full potential through representation, allyship, support, and connection.”
