Gender equality and women’s economic empowerment are central to the vision of the G20 EMPOWER initiative. Progress in this domain has been slow, and it is imperative to foster an inclusive environment where women can participate fully in essential economic activities. The panel discussion, “Skilling the Shakti,” is a step towards realizing this vision, providing a platform to celebrate and learn from the exceptional achievements of women while charting a path towards a more equitable and prosperous future.
