A global voice for gender equality and women’s economic empowerment
Interview conducted by Marie-Christine Tayah
“People often ask me why we choose to focus specifically on women. My answer is simple – we focus on women and girls because evidence accrued over decades of international development work has proven that the status and role of women is the best clue to a nation’s growth potential, and is a key factor in determining a society’s standard of living.” – UNWNCC President Almas Jiwani, HSBC Canada, November 2012
