For this #RootCapital101, we’re focusing on another Impact Pathway: Gender Equity. Women are the backbone of the agricultural sector. Yet numerous barriers—educational, economic, and social—prevent them from accessing vital resources and opportunities. This impacts not only women, but the economy as a whole. By investing in rural women, we can increase agricultural productivity, raise incomes, and promote economic growth. Closing the gender gap not only helps women prosper, it helps their families and communities thrive.

Half the population is female, but the reality is that women do not share equal economic opportunities with men. Globally, approximately 380 million women and girls are trapped in extreme poverty. Even in developed countries like Australia, nearly one million people struggle with severe income poverty, with women disproportionately affected. The significance of gender equity in economic development is widely acknowledged, but progress remains slow. If we continue on this trajectory, it will take centuries to achieve real equality. Achieving women's economic equality is essential for sustainable and inclusive economic development: To truly empower women economically, we must challenge existing paradigms and create innovative, locally driven solutions that dismantle barriers to equality. Our focus on Women's Economic Equality includes partnering with women with lived experience, transforming business support services, and improving market access. It's not just an ideal—it's our business. We're committed to making women's economic equality a reality. Join us in creating a future where all women thrive economically. Let's make it happen, together. Read more on our commitment here: https://lnkd.in/deNazNrH #DifferenceMakers #EconomicEquality #IWD2024 #InvestInWomen #AccelerateProgress

WOMEN’S ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT: THE KEY TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Empowering women economically is a strategic move for sustainable development due to the following reasons: Increased Household Prosperity: Women typically reinvest a significant portion of their earnings back into their families. This investment improves education, healthcare, and overall well-being for their children and spouses. Strengthened Local Economies: Empowered women contribute to the local economy by starting businesses thus creating jobs. This grassroots economic activity is vital for community resilience and growth. Breaking Down Barriers: Economic empowerment helps women overcome social and economic barriers, enhancing gender equality. As women gain financial independence, they also gain the confidence and skills necessary to challenge and change retrogressive societal norms. By supporting women’s economic empowerment initiatives, we are promoting equality and driving economic growth and stability. #Empoweringwomen
