Batik Boutique, an inclusive business enterprise from Malaysia's capital city of Kuala Lumpur, is reinterpreting the ancient craft of batik textile-making and, in the process, giving the opportunity for women from a disadvantaged background to break the cycle of poverty.
Batik Boutique was a finalist in the first ASEAN Inclusive Business Awards, which was held in 2017.
The Asian Development Bank, through its Inclusive Business Support Project, is helping governments and the private sector put in place policies, programs, and incentives for inclusive businesses across Asia and the Pacific.
