Women’s economic empowerment
Economic empowerment of women is one of the most important contributing factors to gender equality and to addressing poverty reduction and improving access to services such as health and education. Through its field operations, the OSCE supports women entrepreneurs to access resources and build networks; provides training and legal advice on how to open and run a business; and supports the development of gender-sensitive national migration policies to ensure equal opportunities and protection for both male and female labour migrants.
