MarketShare Associates moderated a side event on “Shifting Social Norms for Women’s Economic Empowerment” hosted by the SEEP Network at the 2019 Women Deliver Conference in Vancouver, Canada. This blog post summarizes seven lessons learned in shifting social norms for women’s economic empowerment. The session explored how members of SEEP and their Women’s Economic Empowerment Working Group have tackled gender norms in the context of their work in developing countries. Speakers from Oxfam, IPSOS, Women for Women International, ICRW, World Vision International, and MEDA drew on practical examples and strategies for understanding, measuring and changing social norms.
