The objective of this action is to empower and enable women to reach their full potential in the labor market, with a particular focus on productivity.
Specific objectives include:

- To stimulate policy dialogue among relevant stakeholders (policymakers, business sector, Federation of Trade Unions);
- To advocate for policies that enable decent jobs and a stimulative environment that will boost female productivity.
