But Mayoux’s research reveals that gender equality in the industry is far from being a reality. It is especially important to address gender issues in the silk reeling industry, because the industry is both expanding and profitable, offering its workers the potential to escape poverty and inequality. Women are taking steps to achieve this, and this article outlines measures that NGOs could take to support those women. The ultimate aim should be to give women control over resources and income, particularly in the non-domestic sphere. This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & Francis.

As it’s still Women’s History Month, it only seems fitting to turn our attention to some of the women that are fighting for gender equality right now - the women that are the history makers of the future. Here, I celebrate and highlight some of the women who are instrumental to global gender equality activism and who are some of the key activists fighting for gender policy reform in NGOs.

Morgan/Getty Images for The Growth Faculty) Getty Malala needs little introduction - an activist who was shot in the head after publicly campaigning for Pakistani girls’ rights to go to school, Malala now runs the Malala Fund, which works to ensure that every girl is given the opportunity to go to school and make her own decisions about the future. Key policies include putting pressure on governments in developing countries to dedicate 20% and on donor countries to commit 15% of funding to education. Malala also meets with policymakers, Education Cannot Wait UN Ambassadors and grassroots activists. The youngest Nobel laureate, she won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 when she was just 17 years old.
