Women are often overlooked by service providers who do not view them as viable market segments. We raise awareness and issue incentives to service providers to pilot new products and services with target communities, resulting in successful models for inclusive value chains.

Absolutely historic day for #climatejustice. Supreme Court confirms that human rights obligations of Dutch government require it to significant & urgently reduce emissions. No further opportunity for appeal. Climate justice is a legal and moral obligation.

80% of people displaced by climate change are women. Women are more likely than men to suffer from increased workload and income loss due to climate disasters. Recognizing indigenous and community women’s land rights is a climate + human rights imperative. ow.ly/UX6M50wVGFI

While women in #Cambodia own most of businesses in the country, only 3% have access to formal credit, making them unable to grow. Read how the Women's Livelihood Bond is helping #women access capital in #Cambodia: forbes.com/sites/annefield/2… @durreen @annefieldonline
