Almost two thirds of households in #SouthAfrica are women led, yet men still earn more than women. #Agriculture @XolileNgcobo @CGE_ZA #WomenEmpowerment @Ulkoministerio @Reilukauppa @FairtradeAfrica @NdutaMarion @SandiNdlovu #SheGrows #SheBuilds #SheMultiplies

Top Management in #Agriculture women are 0.5% represented and men are at 95.5%. @XolileNgcobo @CGE_ZA #WomenEmpowerment @Ulkoministerio @Reilukauppa @FairtradeAfrica @NdutaMarion @SandiNdlovu #SheGrows #SheBuilds #SheMultiplies

Women are under represented in executive and decision making positions. They are just a number. #Agriculture @XolileNgcobo @CGE_ZA #WomenEmpowerment @Ulkoministerio @Reilukauppa @FairtradeAfrica @NdutaMarion @SandiNdlovu #SheGrows #SheBuilds #SheMultiplies

[Fairtrade Africa SAN @FairtradeSan]

Even when applying for a position, women are always asked "Do you have children". Why? @XolileNgcobo @CGE_ZA #WomenEmpowerment @Ulkoministerio @Reilukauppa @FairtradeAfrica @NdutaMarion @SandiNdlovu #SheGrows #SheBuilds #SheMultiplies

[Fairtrade Africa SAN @FairtradeSan]

There is still an invisible glass ceiling for women which blocks them from moving into management positions. @XolileNcobo @CGE_ZA #WomenEmpowerment @Ulkoministerio @Reilukauppa @FairtradeAfrica @NdutaMarion @SandiNdlovu #SheGrows #SheBuilds #SheMultiplies
