👎 The bad news: #GenderParity is still far off. 👍 The good news: More women than ever hold political decision-making posts worldwide. @IPUparliament's and @UN_Women's latest data shows: we have our work cut out for us. 👉 buff.ly/3YSL73U #INTGenderChampions

Useful visit to CCC and cocoa coops in 🇨🇮. Progress with sector-wide traceability -should not add to cost of farming. Women saving schemes help towards living income and diversification, needed to curb child labor and deforestation. Merci @FairtradeNL @100WKS @CAYATcoop @IDHTrade
