2:47Now PlayingWomen do 66% of the world’s work but earn only 10% of the world’s income. Yet, they reinvest 90% of their income into family and community.
The W+ Standard is a unique certification scheme developed by WOCAN, which measures how companies, governments and individuals can drive social and economic empowerment for women. The W+ Standard can accelerate investments in women as it ‘rewards’ projects that combine climate action with women’s empowerment, and by doing so recognizes and values women’s critical role in tackling climate change.
The W+ measures women’s empowerment in six domains: time, income/assets, health, leadership, education/knowledge and food security. The measurement of progress results in women-benefit units (W+ units) that buyers can purchase. The sale of units generates revenues that are shared with women beneficiaries and their groups, putting money into the hands of women.
In this short video, we speak to Jeannette Gurung, Executive Director of WOCAN, and Lee West, Board Member with WOCAN, to learn more.
