T20 Summit 2023, Mysore, India || Special Session | Women-Led Development: Scripting New Narratives || ‪@Think20brasil‬ | ‪@g20orgbrasil24‬ |
The promotion of women-led development is a gender-transformative approach that foregrounds the role of women’s leadership for achieving progress, and envisions a new narrative of social, economic, and political transformation. Women-led development is a priority of the Indian G20 Presidency, and in June 2023, Prime Minister Modi urged the G20 nations to adopt a “game-changing action plan” in this regard. Currently, women constitute less than a third of the global workforce and gendered digital divides exist. A strong focus on women’s leadership and their participation in the digital economy could, however, unlock talent on an unprecedented scale and increase the global GDP by US$ 5 billion.
