Women represent the majority of those who live in poverty: they have fewer resources, power, and influence. Every day, in every country women face discrimination, violence, abuse, and unequal treatment at home, at work, and in their communities. Gender inequality is a key factor in poverty and is a denial of women’s fundamental rights in all contexts. (Oxfam IT)
At LVRSustainable we are committed to doing our part in combating poverty and gender inequality, which is why we’ve re-joined forces with Oxfam, the humanitarian organization dedicated to reducing global poverty through development projects and humanitarian aid, to launch another campaign: Empowering Women, Improving Society.
Women do 2.6 times more unpaid care and housework than men and earn 24% less for paid work. But when they earn money, they reinvest 90% of their resources in their families and communities, kicking off a cycle of change that can last for generations. (Oxfam IT)
You too can be a part of this cycle of change. With our latest campaign ‘Empowering Women, Improving Society’ each purchase you make on LVRSustainable contributes to one hour of entrepreneurial business incubation for women to develop their ideas and start their own businesses. By supporting women and strengthening their independence, their power, and their skills; we also help their families and communities to flourish both socially and economically.
