Overview of Published Reports on Women in Coffee: 2015 - 2018

Overview of Published Reports on Women in Coffee: 2015 - 2018, updated in March 2019, was completed by a group of reviewers convened by IWCA volunteers. With this document, we hope to make it easier for researchers interested in expanding this body of literature to assess the most recent quality and types of completed works. The criteria to be on the list was that the report appeared publicly between 2015 - 2018 and the report must address gender issues in coffee directly.
