To women, their equality is everything and they are willing to fight day in and day out to prove that men are not superior to women. “The day may be approaching when the whole world will recognize women as the equal of men.” There have been huge changes for women in terms of employment in the past decades, with women moving into paid employment outside the home in ways that their grandmothers and even their mothers could only dream of. Women are moving into jobs that used to be done by men. Even those women working in factories or sweatshops have more choice and independence than if they remained at home.
“A gender-equal society would be one where the word ‘gender’ does not exist: where everyone can be themselves.”
Since this development started, there have been more women than men joining the co-ops as new members, an increase in the numbers of women initiating new projects, and a remarkable 100% payback rate on loans made to women.
These changes have led to an increased sense of self-esteem among the women, who now have greater confidence to speak and participate in the affairs of the cooperatives.
