The project contained a specific component to increase the participation of women as workers, technicians and managers. Women received training in process improvement, auditing practices, monitoring of equipment, computers and other technical aspects of their work. They also formed female workers' committees and soon improvements in working conditions, employee facilities and day cares followed. At the same time, gender awareness sessions began to transform the attitudes of both women and men. Women became more confident; they not only applied the new clean production techniques at work, they started taking initiatives on their own to help clean up the environment.

Ltd. in Zhoucheng, China, one of the project sites. "But...women still face many restraints. To solve these problems, we need to blaze many trails."
