title:

7. Include a Gender Equality Strategy covering the particular role of women workers and entrepreneurs in the supply chains in a follow-up intervention from the design stage in order to mainstream gender, and make sure to allocate dedicated resources to this strategy. In this gender strategy attention should be paid to: o The Promotion of Convention 190 (2019) on Violence and Harassment, particularly along Supply Chains in the region, for example, by including C.190 in (Free) Trade Agreements. o The promotion of Convention 156 on Workers with Family Responsibilities, taking into account the plight of Unpaid Care Workers. o The promotion of Women in Leadership and/or Entrepreneurship, for example, women entrepreneurs do not always associate themselves with the established Employers’ Organisations, and thus promotion of cooperation with those organisations that specifically represent women entrepreneurs. o The Strategic Review (2021: 60) made important, more specific recommendations for such a gender strategy: to review and/or develop concrete tools to implement CSR/RBC actions relevant to gender issues in supply chains, and to offer training on the gender mainstreaming aspect of CSR/RBC (C111, C190) to strengthen the capacity of policy makers and the private sector
