Nisha Onta, Regional Coordinator for WOCAN, was one of speakers at this roundtable discussion organized by Padang & Co. on 24 March 2022. Nisha discussed the various biases women face in the rural areas, specifically the women farmers and shared how the W+ Standard is a mechanism that not only quantifies the invisible contribution of women, it monitizes the impact and the funds go back to the women.
“Level the Field” is a Padang & Co roundtable series that convenes specialists and industry leaders from public and private sectors to share insights and discuss sustainability issues centered on various forms of inequality in our communities. Through this series we aim to lead the discussion on how inclusive and equal communities will enable them to grow sustainably, in order to empower key industries such as food and agriculture, mobility, and healthcare.
