This is a unique chance to engage on both conceptual and practical issues around women’s economic empowerment for the BOP market. The initiative is built on the recognition that there is a documented business case for the private sector to actively engage women as consumers, producers, suppliers, distributors of goods and services or employees. Women’s empowerment is a prerequisite, as much as it is an outcome, for achieving all the SDGs. Our webinars will demonstrate that businesses can be profitable and contribute to a company’s overall objectives while also helping to serve the interests of women at the BOP. Webinar discussions will feed into an insight report that will provide a comprehensive knowledge base to better understand the needs of BOP women at the BOP, thus informing and improving future programme and product design. **1ST WEBINAR | Women’s Economic Empowerment: the (Inclusive) Business Case** - Aditi Mohapatra, Director, Women’s Empowerment at BSR - Anna Falth, Global Programme Manager, Empower Women at UN Women - Katy Lindquist, Communications Executive at AFRIpads Moderated by Paula Pelaez, Programme Manager, Business Call to Action [To register and read more click here](https://www.businesscalltoaction.org/news/wewebinar-women%E2%80%99s-economic-empowerment-inclusive-business-case) **2ND WEBINAR | Women's Economic Empowerment: Navigating Enablers and Constraints** - Georgia Taylor, Technical Director at WISE Development - Mashook Mujib Chowdhury, Deputy Manager, Sustainability, at DBL Group - Nicole Voillat, Group Sustainability Director at Bata Brands Moderated by Carmen Lopez-Clavero, Programme Manager Specialist, Private Sector and Economic Development at Sida [To register and read more click here](https://www.businesscalltoaction.org/news/webinar-womens-economic-empowerment-navigating-enablers-and-constraints) **3RD WEBINAR | Women’s Economic Empowerment: Measuring Inclusive Businesses Impact** - Dr Catherine Dolan, Reader in Anthropology at SOAS, University of London, Visiting Scholar at Saïd Business School - Diana Gutierrez, Global Programme Manager, Gender Equality Seal for Private Sector Global at UNDP - Anuj Mehra, Managing Director at Mahindra Rural Housing Finance Limited, India - Vava Angwenyi, Founder, Vava Coffee LTD, Kenya Moderated by Nazila Vali, Knowledge and Partnerships Lead, Business Call to Action at UNDP [To register and read more click here](https://www.businesscalltoaction.org/news/webinar-women%E2%80%99s-economic-empowerment-measuring-inclusive-business-impact) You will have the opportunity to share questions and comments when registering, during the webinar itself, and immediately following via a post-event feedback form.
