On the Path to Economic Justice and Rights: Working towards Women’s Economic Empowerment

In joint efforts with the Leadership Structure of the Action Coalition on Economic Justice and Rights of the Generation Equality Forum, and as Chair of the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi), Germany is organizing a high-level side event at the sixty-fifth session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) on the women’s economic rights agenda in the context of the Generation Equality Forum.

Female entrepreneurship will be one of the important focus areas of the Action Coalition on Economic Justice and Rights as a key element of achieving women’s economic empowerment through women’s access to and control over economic resources. The We-Fi Initiative supports women entrepreneurs throughout the world to get access to financial products and services, build capacities and expand networks and gain opportunities to link to domestic and global markets. This involves working with governments as well as the private sector. The target group is small- and medium-sized enterprises that are founded/managed or owned by women. We-Fi presents a strong case for women’s economic empowerment from which lessons can be leveraged to inform the Action Coalition’s global work on achieving economic justice and rights for women and girls in all their diversities.
