Economy
Economy
Women are the most economically-exploited group in society and as such are committed to transforming the economy to a more equitable system. This system must ensure the equal distribution of resources for production and of development benefits.
Our vision of the economy is one which allows:
-
equitable access to productive resources and capital
-
equitable distribution of wealth generated by the people
-
using resources in ways that benefit the whole society and not just a small proportion of the people
-
sovereignty in choosing trading partners
