In which situation will a gender audit of the supply chain be necessary?

Correct answer: When the final product is expensive, but women producers receive low payment

A is correct. If women producers receive low payment despite a high-priced final product, it may indicate unequal sharing of benefits and gender discrimination within the supply chain. A gender audit examines whether women and men receive fair wages, opportunities, safety, and benefits at each stage. Simply recording women’s names or making payment information available does not by itself prove equality. Exam tip: Look for situations where women’s work appears undervalued or underpaid.
