Women’s Empowerment in Global Value Chains

(Published in 2016)

OVERVIEW

Women are an essential part of global value chains. As raw material producers, small-business owners, executives, retail workers, and consumers, women help businesses succeed and grow. Yet women continue to face barriers to achieve their full potential at work, in the marketplace, and in many other aspects of life. This not only holds women back, it impairs the growth of businesses, economies, and communities. This report aims to help unlock business opportunities that advance the health, rights, and wellbeing of women in global value chains.
