#SHE-COOPS

Co-operatives is a uniquely positioned agency that keeps the door of empowerment and opportunity open for Women. We felicitate with Cooperators around the world on this 2023 International Day of Co-operatives.

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.

If investors listened to data, they'll invest in Women, and why we promote Women Cooperatives around the world. They remain a non-negotiable value in development of the Cooperatives Sector. Women present a growth market bigger than China and India combined.

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
