“Women-led businesses are Canada’s most underutilized growth strategy. Unlocking their potential is a matter of competitiveness, resilience, and fiscal prudence. It is one of the smartest investments we can make, with returns that benefit every Canadian, in every region.”

Established by UN Global Compact and UN Women, the WEPs are informed by international labour and human rights standards and grounded in the recognition that businesses have a stake in, and a responsibility for, gender equality and women’s empowerment.
