This Editorial comment first appeared in the March 2020 issue of C&CI

C&CI has often highlighted the role women play in the production of coffee, but they also play an important role in the cocoa sector.

Gender equality is a key plank in the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Bridging the gender gap to empower women and provide equal opportunities is a basic human right, one that the International Coffee Organization has begun seriously to focus on. Now it’s also time for the International Cocoa Organization and the chocolate and cocoa sector to focus on it too.
