Women In Cooperatives

We've made no secret of the fact that the untapped potential of Women remain a lost opportunity for Cooperative growth and development. It is a growth market capable of unlocking the Co-operatives Sector growth story of the 21st century.

We're glad to share the theme for the 2023 International Day of Action for Women Co-operatives commemorated every 17th October....."Women Cooperatives: Connecting Voices, Impacting Livelihoods and Empowering Communities". Follow us @ womencooperativesdayofaction.org

Due to the impact of the Pandemic and the need to get support for themselves and their families, many Women quickly joined Coops for the first time especially in local communities around the world. Today millions of Women earn a fair income from Cooperatives.

@MinisterManty @PresidentBio @regner_asa @SetchemeJ Very commendable.

Today, @PresidentBio will sign into law the groundbreaking Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Act 2022 after Parliament's enactment in Nov 2022 🇸🇱 This Act will break the economic and political exclusion shackles for urban and rural women across the country

An Ambassador from every nation of the World? Brilliant idea from She-Coops in getting the message of the importance of Women Cooperatives to every nation especially the Cooperatives Charter for Women and Girls.

We are glad to announce that the International Centre for Women Cooperatives Development has unveiled a 6-month International Day of Action for Women Co-operatives Ambassadors Program. For more information, please visit: womencooperativesdayofaction.org

Cooperatives are a breeding ground for empowerment of the world's Women, and must also be considered at the same level as a form of social protection for Women. Join us to observe the first-ever International Day of Action for Women Co-operatives.

According to Melina Morrison, CEO of BCCM Australia.. "Women's empowerment starts with economic participation". Cooperatives are a breeding ground for Women's economic empowerment and a vital lifeline for millions around the world today.

The Women Cooperatives World Report examines the State of Women Cooperatives on a global level. On annual basis, we shed light on how the Cooperative model is improving the livelihoods of millions of Women across the world, especially at this times.

The International Day of Action for Women Co-operatives is dedicated to sensitize people on the important role Women Cooperatives play in society. To many across the world who maintain subservient less visible roles, it is a form of social protection.

Wishing you and all Women in Cooperatives around the world a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance.
