Business and enterprise should support gender justice and women's rights, but the reality is most women worldwide barely earn enough for survival. Why are women producers more likely than men to live hand-to-mouth, trapped in the least profitable and powerful parts of the economy? And what strategies - by development organisations, the business sector, governments and women's movements - can help change this? Contributions from feminist activists, development researchers and workers here focus on collective forms of enterprise to maximise co-operation between poor women entrepreneurs, women workers' rights and corporate accountability, gender and Fair Trade, and women's economic empowerment.
