Empowerment

ASSOCHAM Empowerment Council is pro-actively working towards creating platform for women worldwide to speak, share, connect & collaborate for business beyond borders and robustly encouraging and empowering women in business, industry and commerce across all sectors.

The private sector and business community will be crucial in helping bridge the gap between skills and jobs and enable access to decent work for women. Vocational and technical training, life skills and financial literacy programmes for women to help them develop marketable skills and better decision-making abilities cannot be undertaken in a meaningful way without the involvement of industry. Companies can also invest in women entrepreneurs through microfinance and bring their goods and services into supply chains. Enhancing women's access to the internet and ICT can create a merging market of connected women who can be linked to business opportunities.

The various stakeholders which are directly or indirectly involved in the council includes Niti Ayog, UN Agency, World Bank Asian Development Bank, WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, UNDP, ILO, UN Women etc.
