**Happy International Women’s Day – Give to Gain** 🥳
This International Women’s Day, we celebrate something powerful: generosity and collaboration. When we give, we all gain. For nearly 40 years, Women Working Worldwide has stood alongside women fighting for fairness, dignity and voice at work. And none of this has been done alone.
Across the world 🌍, women can make up over 70% of the global supply chain workforce contributing significantly to the global economies’ movement. Yet too often women workers are undervalued, underpaid and insecure and many face sexual harassment and discrimination.
And yet — change is possible!
Because of you and generous funders and collaboration across NGOs and trade unions we have seen real transformation.
Together, Women Working Worldwide have:
● Trained 20,000+ trainers, union leaders and practitioners across Africa and Asia
● Helped over 500,000 women understand and claim their rights
● Tackled sexual harassment and gender-based violence in Asia and Africa and much more…

That is what **Give to Gain** looks like
● When funders invest in women’s rights, businesses gain stronger supply chains. 💪
● When companies, unions and NGOs collaborate, workers gain safer workplaces. 💪
● When women gain confidence and knowledge, communities gain stability. 💪
But progress is fragile. Funding for small women’s rights organisations is shrinking.
