In this Geoeconomics Podcast episode, Michelle Bernier talks with Gizette Lemus, about the importance of the role of women leaderships within Special Economics Zones in Colombia.

The free trade zone sector has become an important generator of employment for women.

During 2020, 49% of the net jobs generated by multinational companies were occupied by women, many of them heads of household.

Now we discussed with Gizette Lemus, she worked for the Chamber of Users of Free Zones of the National Association of Entrepreneur of Colombia, about the importance of the role of women leaderships within Special Economics Zones in Colombia.

Spanish:

El sector de las zonas francas se ha convertido en un importante generador de empleo para las mujeres.

Durante el año 2020, el 49% de los empleos netos generados por las empresas multinacionales fueron ocupados por mujeres, muchas de ellas jefas de hogar.

Por eso, conversamos con Gizette Lemus, quien trabajó para la Cámara de Usuarios de Zonas Francas de la Asociación Nacional de Empresarios de Colombia, sobre la importancia del papel de los liderazgos femeninos dentro de las Zonas Económicas Especiales en Colombia.
