About Investing in Women

Investing In Women, an initiative of the Australian Government, works to advance women’s economic equality and drive inclusive economic growth across Southeast Asia. Through partnerships with a diverse range of stakeholders, we support women to thrive in the workplace and succeed in business. IW uses innovative approaches to catalyse women’s economic participation through four workstreams: • Workplace Gender Equality – We support local business coalitions and partners to help leading companies create gender-equal workplaces. By encouraging changes in organisational culture, practice, and policy, we have reached more than one million employees since 2016. • Enabling Policy Reform – We work with trusted local actors to shape policies that support women in the workforce, particularly related to the care economy. Our partners bring solid research, business insights and collaborative action grounded in the local policy context. • Campaigns and Communities of Practice – We support locally driven digital campaigns and communities of advocates to promote gender-equal attitudes and behaviours and strengthen public support for women’s economic participation. • Gender Lens Investing – We work with investors and impact networks to increase investment in businesses benefiting women by deploying Gender Lens Investing (GLI) strategies and products. This includes an IW funding window within Australian Development Investments (ADI).
