World Bank President makes Case for Women

WoThe World Bank Group President, David Malpass has stressed the need for women to be included in the running of the economies of countries of the world.
Malpass made this disclosure in a Press Release dated 23 February 2021.
“Despite progress in many countries, there have been troubling reversals in a few, including restricting women’s travel without the permission of a male guardian. This pandemic has exacerbated existing inequalities that disadvantage girls and women, including barriers to attend school and maintain jobs. Women are also facing a rise in domestic violence and health and safety challenges. Women should have the same access to finance and the same rights to inheritance as men and must be at the center of our efforts toward an inclusive and resilient recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.” the World Bank President stated.
