Achieving women's economic empowerment: what will it take - Q&A

Earlier this year, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced the world’s first High-Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment, with the aim of providing leadership on how to close global economic gender gaps. The panel unites leaders of the IMF, the World Bank and UN Women, as well as leading economic experts, academics, trade union leaders, business, civil society and government representatives, all committed to identifying the most promising workable and practical solutions which will fast-track women’s economic empowerment. At this event four leading panel members ask the audience to share their own insights and experiences at this public consultation that will shape the High-Level Panel’s first report, due in September 2016.
