Paragraph text

A crosscutting issue in women's life cycles is their vulnerability to poverty, especially when they are from minority communities. As recommended by the ILO and the Report of the Social Protection Floor Advisory Group chaired by Michelle Bachelet, social protection floors are vital tools to reduce women's poverty and improve women's level of economic empowerment.
