Sex-disaggregated data plays a crucial role in comprehending the needs and behaviors of women remittance customers. This knowledge, together with an understanding of localized social norms and factors that drive gender disparities, supports the fact that migrant and refugee women are key remittance customer segments. Women migrants and refugees should be reflected and safeguarded in remittance consumer protection policies in a way that promotes women’s financial inclusion outcomes.
As part of UNCDF’s Gender Collaborative for Remittances (Gender Colab) series, this webinar will convene research and policy specialists working with UNCDF, UN Women, AFI Global, and Remitly to discuss key strategies in using data for decision-making in support of womens’ financial inclusion outcomes.
The discussion will focus on the importance of sex-disaggregated data, understanding women migrants as explicit customer segments, and how that data can inform gender-responsive consumer protection policies within the remittance sector.
We will be hosting the webinar on 26 October 2023, 13:00 to 14:15 GMT.
