Women are key agents for development in rural India. Gender justice is inextricably linked to climate justice and the world needs to leverage women as its most powerful ally in fighting climate change. At Baeru we are enabling rural women's socio-economic empowerment by leveraging the power of design, technology, the lingual and regional context. We commit to the UN’s Women Empowerment Principles because it provides us a definitive framework to build and scale a diverse, well-represented team and bolsters our attempt to make a meaningful, measurable impact in society. We strongly believe that this framework has the power to drive business, culture, company policies, and gender equity not just in our company but even within the vendor organizations that we deal with.
