Every year, from the 1st to the 8th of March, we raise awareness about women\u2019s rights to honour their vital contributions and achievements in the Fair Trade movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are a woman working for a Fair Trade Enterprise, you are four times as likely to achieve a senior management position, become CEO or join the Board than you would be working for a conventional business. Much more than this: if you are a woman working or producing for a Fair Trade Enterprise, you will be recognised, you will be counted, your rights will be respected, you will be visible and your voice will be heard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fair Trade Enterprises have gender justice at the heart of what they do, believing that we will never achieve sustainable development if women\u2019s full potential is not realised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During this week, we as WFTO want to amplify the voices of women artisans, farmers, and workers who play a crucial role in shaping a more equitable and sustainable global economy. By highlighting their stories and successes, we aim to inspire positive change in communities and enterprises worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
