Skilling Women
Skilling women refers to the process of equipping them with the knowledge, abilities, and competencies necessary to participate effectively in economic activities. This can be achieved through vocational training, formal education, and other forms of capacity building
Skills for Gender Equality
Women face a number of challenges in accessing and completing quality education and training, and more so in transitioning to decent employment. They are more likely to be in vulnerable employment, such as informal employment and especially unpaid family work. Household, community and care responsibilities often limit their chances of accessing education and training, or of participating in the labour force. Consequently, educational disadvantages accumulate throughout women’s lives. Occupational segregation remains a predominant feature of training and labour markets, limiting women’s choices and confining them to lower-paid and lower-status jobs than men.
The World Bank reports that approximately 330 million women worldwide live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than $1.90 per day. This means that millions of women struggle to meet their basic needs facing significant challenges in their lives.
