On this International Economic Abuse Awareness Day, we'd like to share some resources by our Senior Researcher, Bobbi Gray about this often misunderstood form violence. Originating as part of a global movement to recognize and address economic abuse, this day shines a light on how financial control and exploitation can trap individuals, particularly women, in cycles of poverty and dependence. At its core, International Economic Abuse Awareness Day seeks to: Raise awareness about economic abuse as a form of gender-based violence. Advocate for survivor-centered solutions. Encourage innovation in systems and services to promote safety and independence. To build on this mission, we're providing insights from two blogs: 👉 Designing Financial Services with Safety in Mind: This explores how financial services can be designed to enable survivors and prioritize their safety: https://lnkd.in/g9dUwTFa 👉 What is Economic Violence and What Can Financial Service Providers Do About It?: This explains the nuances of economic violence and provides actionable steps for financial institutions to help survivors regain control: https://lnkd.in/edgc-G_Y These resources are part of our broader effort, Program SAFE, to ensure financial inclusion for all is achieved by building better systems for women. Be sure to check out our full Program SAFE blog series to learn more: https://lnkd.in/g5-AY-6T 💡 Join the conversation and share how we can collectively combat economic abuse.

Amidst the conversations around bridging climate finance and gender equality, this insightful The Brookings Institution article highlights a key point: increasing access to finance is not enough. As the world focuses on boosting climate finance, a critical gap remains... the lack of attention to gender inequality. Global reform agendas often overlook barriers women face in accessing resources, leaving vital sectors like small-scale agriculture underfunded. At Grameen Foundation, we address these challenges by: 1.Investing in the power of women farmers with climate-smart tools and financing. 2. Creating gender-focused financial products like gender bonds. 3. Promoting community-based resilience through women-led initiatives. 4. Tackling structural under-investment in women-owned businesses through systemic interventions including focus on men as allies. 5. Advocating for greater focus on adaptation finance to benefit women-dominated sectors like agriculture. Climate action must include gender equality to ensure a sustainable and just transition. Let’s work together to make it happen! #ClimateFinance #GenderEquality #GrameenFoundation #InvestInHERPower
