The Centre for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) hosted an Asia-Pacific Women’s Business Organisations Conference with partners from across the region in Manila, Philippines, 25-26 August.
The conference highlighted partnerships to advance women’s economic empowerment through combined efforts to promote training, dialogue and advocacy around some of the main barriers facing women in business. In particular, partner organisations shared their experiences working as member-driven business organisations in the post-COVID era, discussed the latest trends and issues in digital transformations as women move their businesses online, and shared how they have addressed the challenges of gender-based violence and harassment in the workplace. In addition, the partner organisations shared their policy advocacy challenges and wins to promote greater women’s economic empowerment in their respective countries.
