This document discusses how women are disproportionately affected by crises like conflicts, natural disasters, and the COVID-19 pandemic due to their gender roles. It notes that cooperatives have helped empower women to fight challenges with strength and courage. However, it questions whether women truly have a sense of self-worth, ability to make choices, and access to opportunities and resources, or if they are still behind men. The document calls for acknowledging women's economic role in cooperatives and using transformation strategies to increase women's participation and empowerment.
