The P.A.C.E. (Personal Advancement & Career Enhancement) program, in partnership with PVH, equips female garment workers with essential life skills to achieve personal and professional success. This initiative is transitioning into the Reimagining Industry to Support Equality (RISE) program, a collaborative endeavour to advance gender equality across global garment, footwear, and home textile supply chains. RISE, spearheaded by BSR’s HER project, CARE International, ILO-IFC Better Work, and Gap Inc., strives to empower women, integrate gender equality into business practices, and catalyze systemic transformation within the industry. It emphasizes enhancing women’s agency, fostering positive gender attitudes, and building skills in health, sexual and reproductive health, and financial literacy.
