Empower a Girl, Transform a Community
Poverty, violence, cultural norms and traditions, as well as mental and health conditions, oppress millions of girls. Due to all these challenges, women and girls encounter some form of discrimination at every stage in their career path. These challenges critically reduce their bargaining power for employment and economic empowerment. Fortunately, all is not lost. I had the privilege of leading a panel discussion among great women, who are taking the lead to make a difference in the young women’s lives by providing education, mentoring, and stability as anchors and role models.
