6 video highlights on gender equality in 2015

With the launch of the Global Gender Gap Report 2015 comes an opportunity to look back at some of the year’s key discussions about gender.

Women’s importance to the economy was central to this discussion held at the Forum’s ‘Summer Davos’ in China in September.

Laura Liswood, Secretary General of the Council of Women World Leaders, talks about the need for a comprehensive look at gender parity.

“When you educate a girl, everything changes.” Ann Cotton, Founder and President of Camfed, explains that the exclusion of girls is often the result of deep poverty rather than a cultural decision.

Angelica Fuentes, President of the Angelica Fuentes Foundation, talks about gender equality in Latin America.

The World Economic Forum on Africa 2015 featured this interview on gender parity in Africa.

The following video explores the findings of this year’s Global Gender Gap Report.
