WEL Lunchtime Talk  - Introduction
Channel: WEE in Agriculture Knowledge Hub
Date: 09/05/2013

Thalia Kidder and Sally Baden introduce the concept of Women's Economic Leadership (WEL) in a lunchtime to talk to staff at Oxfam House.

WEL is about identifying market sub-sectors that are commercially viable and which most women can benefit from.  Likewise, investments can increase women's power in market systems by 'upgrading' them to roles that are more profitable and less risky -- beyond production to processing or inputs. Crucially, WEL methodology links this market analysis with gendered analysis of household work, women-specific risks, gender-based violence and norms about women and men in communities to increase women's agency.  WEL also promotes gender equality in economic decision-making and policy advocacy.
