The G20 and gender equality

Wakefield, Shawna

The greatest goals of the international community should be the realization of the rights and dignity of all human beings and the protection of the natural environment. Our global economic system should be at the service of these objectives. Instead, women and men serve an economicsystem that discounts and excludes what matters most; from the care required for children, the sick and the elderly to preservation of the natural environment.
