EOSS Consulting has worked on issues of women’s economic empowerment since its inception. Whether conducting research for the World Bank or creating public policy plans for Rio’s municipalities, EOSS has leveraged gender and economic development as a core competency. Brazil is one of few countries in the region with a federal ministry for gender equity, influencing policy, financing programs and shifting for a more representative nation. EOSS Consulting is glad to partners with Secretariat for Policies for Women on various initiatives to empower women in Brazil, particularly women at the base of the pyramid. One of these initiatives is the Rio Professional Qualification Program, which train 1000 low-income women in Rio de Janeiro. Participants master entrepreneurial and vocational skills to help them grow businesses or improve professional mobility. We are proud to announce that we will soon be marketing these women’s products in our online store starting June 2011. More information soon to come!
