#GET3: Women’s Economic Empowerment

How can women’s participation in the labor force boost economic growth on both a personal and societal level? And how does gender discrimination lead to unequal pay between women and men? In this third #GenderEqualityTalks, Ana Maria and Augusto look closer at the importance of women’s economic empowerment.

Reflections:

Local bylaws: Do you have any restrictions that discriminate against women at the local level in terms of partaking in work och decision making? In what ways can you challenge them?

To facilitate and reflect over these questions in a democratic and inclusive way in a workshop, read through ICLD democratic workshop handbook.
