Campaign:
BSR and International Women's Day
While we have made incredible strides on advancing women globally, much work remains to ensure that women have equal pay and representation, equal protection under the law, and equal treatment within their families and communities.
To mark International Women's Day, BSR is featuring a series of articles on how business can go further to advance women by:
- Ensuring women's rights are part of business
- Using capital markets to invest in women
- Integrating women's empowerment into corporate strategy
We're also excited to share the results from the pilot of BSR's HERfinance, which show that the financial-literacy program has had positive impacts on both workers and their perceptions of employers.
We hope these articles inspire you to look at what your company can do to advance gender equality—and that you'll join us in making this vision a reality.
