"In October 2011, Canada and UN Women co-hosted an international conference on women's economic empowerment in Ottawa. The conference assembled more than 100 global experts, entrepreneurs, policy-makers, development practitioners, academics, and business and industry leaders to share their experiences and best practices on how to break down the barriers to women's economic empowerment. "
Below is what Empowerwomen.org has to say about their mission.
"Mission We are dedicated to empowering women to achieve their full economic potential by inspiring both women and men to become advocates, change makers and leaders in their community. We equip them with resources, opportunities and a global platform that facilitates networking, learning and sharing of experiences."
Women and girls have long made made to feel as if their work and skills are inferior, by not having the proper role models to look up to in representation and moreover their labor treated with less gravity in terms of pay. As their still does exist as disparagement in the pay given to women and the pay given to men. This creates the financial dissonance between working men and working women, that leads to dangerous imbalance of power in society as a whole.
