Applying a gender lens to inclusive insurance

A gender-neutral approach to insurance, though well intended, creates a disproportionate impact on women and unintentionally leaves them behind because we are not considering some of the specific needs of women. 

In this module, we will

• consider the unique context of women and their risk-mitigation needs
• examine some of the myths and biases that can get in the way of really considering the women’s market and
• provide you with an understanding of how you can apply a gender lens to regulatory and supervisory work.

We hope you enjoy your learning experience!

This module is a product of the project 'Empowering supervisors to improve women's access to insurance'  supported by the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC). Read more about this funding partnership here.
