Women’s Empowerment
Promoting the economic empowerment of women must include supporting their full participation and development in order to ensure sustainable employment opportunities and independence for women in the future.
Women and girls represent a very high percentage of the world’s poor and sick, and often suffer higher rates of discrimination and violence. They continue to work for longer hours than men and earn less money. One thing is clear: “Women’s economic empowerment is essential for our collective future.“
