Women’s Empowerment Works in Japan’s Interest A Call for Male Leaders to Realize Its Value and Promote It
On Saturday, March 23, 2019, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF), together with WE EMPOWER JAPAN held a special session during the 5th WAW!/W20 entitled “Gender Lens Investing: Emerging Global Trends.” Leaders and experts in the field of gender lens investment discussed specific strategies to encourage more investment in gender equality and women’s empowerment.
Interest is growing worldwide, but what is gender lens investing?
Gender lens investing is not only a method for directing investment towards gender equality and women's empowerment, but it can also be an effective means for investors to make even better investment decisions, with an awareness of the potential value (for example, female entrepreneurs unable to raise capital despite the anticipation of high growth) and risks (sexual harassment, low employee retention rate, inappropriate value chain development).
