Increase in women feeling safe at their workplace
Increase in women being offered promotions and skill upgradation training
Women make up a significant portion of the factory workforce, but they often face gender-based discrimination and harassment, as well as limited opportunities for career growth and leadership positions. These challenges can be exacerbated by cultural and social norms that reinforce gender stereotypes and limit women’s access to education, training, and other resources.
By valuing the contributions of women in the workplace and providing them with equal access to opportunities, training, and promotion, companies can create a more diverse and skilled workforce that leads to innovation, productivity, and profitability.
Investing in programs that focus on Women’s inclusivity can have several benefits, both for the workers themselves and for the companies that employ them. Here are some of the key benefits:
Gender training can enhance women’s career growth by developing skills, confidence, and leadership abilities, positioning them for promotions and advancement.
Empowerment of women at work by raising awareness of gender issues and promoting inclusivity leads to increased respect and value for them as workers.
Promotes solidarity among women at work by providing a safe space to discuss gender issues and share experiences, fostering connection and support.
Helps prevent gender-based violence and harassment for women factory workers by raising awareness and providing prevention and response tools.

Stories from workers
“I had been working in the factory for several years, but I always felt like my contributions as a female worker were undervalued and disregarded by my male colleagues and supervisor.
After the training, I noticed a significant change in the way my colleagues treated me. They started to listen to my opinions and ideas, and I felt like I was finally being recognized for my contributions. I also noticed that my supervisor was more open to feedback and suggestions from female workers, which had not been the case before. The program helped me feel valued and respected, and it created a more inclusive and positive work environment for all workers.”

Stories from Management
” Thanks to the EQUAL Program, our employees became more aware of the gender-related issues that existed in the workplace. I was pleased to see the positive impact that the gender inclusivity training program had on the female workers in the factory. It was evident that the program had helped them become more confident and vocal in expressing their opinions and ideas.
Furthermore, the management team noticed a significant increase in productivity and innovation among all workers after the program was introduced. We attributed this success to the more inclusive and diverse work environment that had been created by the program. It was truly inspiring to see how the program had helped to break down barriers and promote a more positive and respectful work environment“
