On Shifting Ground with Ray Suarez
1:00 am – 2:00 amOn Shifting Ground with Ray Suarez

A Woman’s Seat at the Table

So far, the world has failed to keep up with the U.N. development goals for gender equality, and the clock is ticking. Can increased financial inclusion and political participation for women help bridge the gap? Mary Ellen Iskenderian, president and CEO of Women’s World Banking, believes our traditional financial system fails women. She speaks with host Ray Suarez about how tech can help level the playing field.

While much of the world grapples with war fatigue, Tsikhanouskaya warns of the risks of complacency in the face of authoritarianism. see more
