RISE: Reimagining Industry to Support Equality

RISE: Reimagining Industry to Support Equality is an initiative to support collaborative industry action at scale to advance gender equality in global garment, footwear and home textiles supply chains.

RISE brings together the four largest women’s empowerment programs in the apparel industry—from BSR’s HERproject, Gap Inc. P.A.C.E, CARE International, and Better Work—to build from proven approaches, scale impact and improve efficiency.

This unified approach makes it easier and more efficient for industry and wider stakeholders to drive accelerated and lasting impact on gender equality.

The four founding partner organizations work with 50 of the world’s largest apparel brands and have reached over five million women workers globally.
