BONEX is a project that is committed to gender equality and seeks to achieve it by developing targeted and effective strategies. Some data show that women occupy 43% of the global agricultural workforce, highlighting discrimination in land and livestock ownership, wages, participation in decision-making processes, and access to credit and financial services. To address this, BONEX has developed tools to prevent these disparities from being replicated, through the establishment of a Gender Committee. This committee will be responsible for evaluating gender balance, providing adequate training on gender equality, disseminating educational material, and ensuring the integration of gender sensitivity into project practices. At BONEX, we believe that achieving gender equality not only helps to improve performance but also fosters innovation, encourages creativity, and enhances the overall quality of the project. 

Some data demonstrate BONEX’s commitment to these goals: women represent 43.5% of leadership positions in decision-making bodies and 50% of the External Advisory Board; furthermore, 55.2% of the Gender Committee is composed of women, allowing for the analysis of norms and social relationships from an equitable perspective. This approach allows BONEX to challenge gender stereotypes, promote the cross-sector participation of women, and achieve gender balance, emphasizing how the success of women in this sector is crucial, while particularly focusing on improving the gender inclusion capabilities of project partners.
