As a women’s rights organization, we invite you to collaborate with us to advance gender equality in supply chains. Women’s rights organizations are represented at the RISE Steering Board level through Women’s Fund Asia, and we engage with women’s rights organizations across the three pillars of our work: capacity strengthening, market transformation, and influencing. Please reach out to us to learn more.

As a union, we invite you to collaborate with us to advance gender equality in supply chains. Unions are represented at the RISE Steering Board level through IndustriALL, and we engage with unions across the three pillars of our work: capacity strengthening, market transformation, and influencing. Please reach out to the team to learn more.

RISE’s capacity strengthening programs are delivered through our local partners network. If you would like to become part of our network and help deliver our programs, please get in touch. We also work with local NGOs to shape and scale up concrete solutions for women workers. This is accomplished through knowledge-sharing around women’s needs and priorities and feedback loops to ensure that women’s rights are integrated into our strategy and practices.

Donor organizations are invited to partner with RISE to fund core activities, innovations, and expansions that support women working in global supply chains. Please check the partner section for more information about our current donors.
