How Businesses Can Invest in Women and Realize Returns
This brief expands the business case for private sector investment in women’s health and empowerment in three sections:
- Opportunities for Action
- Mapping
- Recommendations
It reviews 26 various private sector investments in women’s health and empowerment. These range from workplace programs led by apparel, agriculture, consumer goods, microfinance, and electronics companies; to investments in technology, information, and networks by communications companies to improve women’s health and wellbeing.
The brief states that the private sector - particularly companies with supply chains that employ disproportionate numbers of women such as apparel, agriculture, home goods, and electronics - are uniquely positioned to reach millions of women with the health and empowerment information and services they need to improve their lives.
