The successful establishment of equal opportunities for women, in Latin America and around the world, contributes to improvements across broad societal health, education, security and productivity trends.

At this event, Canning House and Pollera Pantalón gather a panel to discuss the progress made and challenges facing women in the private sector, and consider how companies can move beyond traditional corporate social responsibility, benefiting whole societies by combining profits with gender progress.
