Description
<p>This case-study explores the findings of a <a href="http://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/publications/exploring-the-links-between-international-business-and-poverty-reduction-bouque-290820">Poverty Footprint study</a> in the horticultural sector in Kenya, published jointly by Oxfam and IPL (International Procurement and Logistics Ltd) in 2013.</p>
<p>Key findings were that women make up over 60% of the workforce and whilst the sector provides job opportunities women workers are disempowered, suffer sexual harassment and bear a disproportionately high burden of family care.</p>
<p>As a result of the study, IPL committed to make improvements in health and safety, women's pay, access to bank accounts, and in childcare provision, and to reduce discrimination.</p>
