Sustainable development plan needed for female-led businesses
Cooperatives have helped attain synergy, unity, and cohesion of businesses within women’s societies, announced the head of the women’s commission of the Iran Cooperative Chamber, adding that this would boost women’s share in the economy.
Khatereh Ostad-Rezaei told IRNA on Wednesday that expert panels will be held by the end of the current [Iranian] year under the National Congress of Iranian Women to draft a sustainable development document of women’s cooperatives.
Women should gain their appropriate position in sustainable development and economic participation. Meanwhile, the formation of cooperatives helps families provide economic livelihood along with a reduction in social damages, she added.
Ostad-Rezaei noted that a lot of women are working in different fields across the country as we are looking for establishing a network for more communication between businesses.
