Grassroots women’s economic empowerment is central to realizing women’s rights and gender equality and to improving livelihoods.
Grassroots women can get themselves out of poverty and into economic stability by advocating for access, ownership, and control of productive assets such as land, finance, and technology. The movement, therefore, is committed to addressing all barriers, with a critical focus on land access, control, and ownership; inclusion in agricultural value chains; financial and digital inclusion; and networking. GROOTS Kenya also believes that advancing grassroots women’s economic position will enhance their capacity to prepare for and cope with the impacts of shock.
