The G20 EMPOWER Alliance is dedicated to accelerating women’s leadership and empowerment in the private sector. This initiative is critical not only for social justice but also for economic growth, given that the G20 represents more than 80% of the world’s GDP, 75% of international trade, and 60% of the world’s population. With its strategic position in the global economy, the G20 has enormous potential to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment.
