“While we have much more to do, women have access to healthcare, we place a premium on education, which is the first step toward economic independence, and we have laws that protect girls and women and don’t allow for child marriage. However, we have a long way to go in terms of equal pay for equal work.” - Farah Mohamed, president & CEO, G(irls)20 Summit
