This book explores the fundamental human right of gender equality as a cornerstone for a peaceful, affluent, and sustainable world. Members of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and other countries have formulated strategies to increase the participation of women in business and leadership roles, highlighting its significance. Women currently hold 29% of senior or managerial positions, as noted in Catalyst (2019). Despite this progress, women''s participation in logistics and transport remains low due to factors like "low expectations, limited access to critical skills, and inadequate advancement," especially in aviation, maritime, and rail sectors.

The book offers a comprehensive review and empirical study of women''s capacity building, talent management, and leadership in logistics, transportation, and commodity sectors, including palm oil, gold, and copper. It covers female empowerment, leadership values, and challenges faced during crises such as COVID-19, wars, and natural disasters. With international case studies, this book is a vital resource for students, scholars, and practitioners in logistics and transport. It aims to benefit advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, managers, and decision-makers worldwide.
