La prise en compte du genre dans les initiatives des entreprises transnationales : le cas de l’industrie du cacao au Ghana et en Côte-d’Ivoire
This study seeks to explore a new dimension of discrimination against women in employment. The research focuses on the effects of the gender factor, on the relationship between gender mainstreaming in transnational corporations' work plans and on women's working conditions throughout the supply chain. We studied the cocoa industry because of the importance of the cocoa economy in several countries. In the first chapter, we are establishing the difference between women and men treatments on cocoa farms by analyzing the data of the two largest cocoa producing countries, Ghana and Ivory Coast. The second part of the analysis discusses the basis of discrimination in African regional law and international law. The study concludes with the demonstration of the influence of the transnational corporations in the working conditions of cocoa farmers through its social responsibility initiatives.
