The goal of this project, in collaboration with Voces Vitales Costa Rica or VVCR, was to investigate gender equality in the business sector of Costa Rica and begin creating a gender equality assessment tool. We conducted ten interviews and a focus group with representatives from various companies. We obtained valuable information about the status of gender equality in Costa Rican companies, as well as opinions on already existing assessment tools. We used these findings to provide VVCR with gender assessment recommendations.
