Women's cooperatives

Women's cooperatives are organizations owned and operated by women that work together to achieve common economic goals, such as producing goods or providing services. These cooperatives empower women by offering collective resources, shared decision-making, and increased bargaining power, helping them access markets and finance that might be difficult individually. They foster economic independence, promote social inclusion, and enhance community development. Operated democratically, each member has a voice, ensuring fairness and mutual benefit. Overall, women's cooperatives are a strategic way to support women’s economic participation and strengthen communities through collaboration.
