Empowered Women through Decent Work Increases Economic Growth #SDG8

Karuna Dayal, @karunadayal curated our handle last week discussing the various aspects of SDG 8- Decent Work and Economic Growth with regards to women.

Naina Jha, @27nainajha, a PR Professional, avid learner who works for the education of slum kids hosted our TweetChat last Friday discussing how women can be empowered and can achieve economic growth when they have access to decent work. While the work condition of women may be better in the cities every woman, irrespective where she comes from, should have the right and access to wages that support a decent standard of living, workplace safety & protection against discrimination. She explained the importance of equality, respect and a positive work environment in aiding women in their empowerment. She also highlighted the need for an inclusive society in which women are already leading the way towards economic growth.
