Explicit or implicit biases are present in every work environment, they can vary widely across geographies and cultures, and they often result from a complex combination of traditional power structures, categorisations of economic or ethnic class, and attitudes toward gender. Prohibiting any form of discrimination is the necessary framework for work opportunities and career advancement.
Olam’s ambition to improve smallholder livelihoods cannot be fully achieved without addressing gender equality.
Gender equality is a human right, strongly linked to agricultural productivity and social and economic development. Yet in many rural communities where we work, women have vastly unequal decision-making power, control over use of income, and access to education, finance, land, and inputs.
