FACT SHEET: Women in Fair Trade
Women in Africa are estimated to provide over 80 per cent of the labour in agriculture, yet often women do not see any income from the sale of products they grow. Many engage in craft production to generate additional income to provide for basic needs. Fair Trade actively targets poor producers and offers an alternative means of livelihood, serving as a vehicle for poverty reduction and women’s economic empowerment.
