CSW68 Parallel Event
Financial Empowerment is the winner:
nudging the world toward gender equality
RSVP at info@women7italy.org
The sixty-eighth session of the Commission on the Status of Women will consider as a priority the theme “Accelerating the Achievement of Gender Equality and the Empowerment of All Women and Girls by Addressing Poverty and Strengthening Institutions and Financing with a Gender Perspective.”
The parallel W7 event will focus on financial empowerment for gender-aware financial inclusion for women, which is at the core of achieving gender equality. With the keynote Speech by the OECD, we will have an opportunity to reflect on a complex economic context and then focus on actions and recommendations to be implemented and illustrated by the esteemed speakers who will bring their professional experience from the private to the public to the third sector.
