Synopsis: SAWIE in its attempt towards this goal has partnered with United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), ENERGIA International Network on Gender and Sustainable Energy (ENERGIA), and the Global Women’s Network for the Energy Transition (GWNET) to form the Gender and Energy Compact.

Best Practices in Gender Mainstreaming

Title: Best Practices in Gender Mainstreaming

Synopsis: Industrialization can significantly contribute to reduction in poverty and promote shared prosperity. However, women often face hindered access to secure and well- paid jobs in manufacturing industries and related service sectors, and consequently, their participation in the development of new technologies remains limited. The Energy and Industrial sectors remain two such manufacturing-heavy sectors that are gender imbalanced, and gender equity presents both a challenge and an opportunity waiting to be harnessed.

Equity and Smart Mobility

Title: SAWIE NEWSLETTER, Vol 1, October 2020

Synopsis: The energy sector remains one of the most gender imbalanced sectors and gender equity still holds a greater challenge in the India’s energy sector. The skewed women participation can partly be attributed to the social and perception barriers about dominance of field-based activities, geographical mobility and shift-based working, which have been traditionally considered as negative for women participation.
