It is now easy to see how working with Gender Links is changing the face of the community. We have so much work to do, but now we have support, and a structured approach. We have a database, but it is not disaggregated by gender. We have lots of women in the market, but haven't done any study on them to understand the gaps, challenges, and needs. We do not want women as passive beneficiaries. We want them to talk and tell us about their needs. It is by talking with Gender Links that I have realized that.Go to: Find out moreShamanta Fagoonee - Mauritius
