Accelerating the rate at which the extreme poor become economically secure is
key to a just and sustainable world. And investing in the world’s poorest people—
women—is fundamental to economic development. We’ve seen recent progress in
women’s financial status, but much remains to be done. Girls still account for the
majority of children out of school; two-thirds of women in developing countries
work in the informal sector or as unpaid domestic workers; and 1.2 billion women
have no access to financial institutions. Join in a conversation between two of the
world’s leading experts on ending poverty and learn what you can do to improve
women’s financial security.
