1. Context
Women represent around 80% of the sector’s workforce. However, less than 25% of them take part in the decision-making or have a managerial role, which implies fewer career opportunities, responsibilities, and good quality of life.
How can the T&C sector become more inclusive and contribute to improving the livelihoods of millions of women worldwide?

2. Webinar objectives
