Google Hangout & E-Discussion: Freedom of Movement and Women’s Economic Empowerment

Google Hangout & E-Discussion: Freedom of Movement and Women’s Economic Empowerment

The latest edition of the World Bank Group’s <a href="http://www.wikigender.org/wiki/women-business-and-the-law/"><em>Women, Business and the Law</em> report</a> finds that various countries legally treat women and men differently, often hindering women’s economic empowerment by placing limits on women’s ability to move freely.

Empower Women & the World Bank Group are co-organising a <strong>Google Hangout</strong> on the topic on <strong>2 February 2016 from 9.30 am to 11 a.m. EST</strong>.

Following the Google hangout, an <strong>online e-discussion</strong> on “Freedom of Movement and Women’s Economic Empowerment” will be hosted on <a href="http://www.empowerwomen.org/">EmpowerWomen.org</a> <strong>from 2 to 15 February 2016</strong>, and will serve as a space for the public to continue and broaden the conversation started on the hangout and address any follow-up questions.
