Seventy percent of the world’s 1.3 billion poor people surviving on less than a $ 1 a day are women. In general we can say that women work in inhuman conditions, earning less respect and pay. In this blog I will show you how fair trade tries to help women by focusing on the important role women play in providing all the needs of their family.
Fair trade directly benefits women by allowing them the opportunity to work and earn money while tending to their daily tasks. They spend twice as much time as men on unpaid activities like cooking, cleaning, child care…
Investments in women’s well being by offering them paid work can have far-reaching positive effects. When they are able to generate an income, they tend to spend it towards the well-being of their family. This results in better schooling, healthier food and improved health care.
I conclude that the fair trade organization can end the cycle of poverty only by enabling women to earn money. It is the key to help developing countries!
