Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group, shares
the good news that the governors of the World
Bank Group have set ambitious goals to end extreme poverty
by 2030 and to boost shared prosperity for the bottom 40
percent of the population in developing countries. He
noted that increased economic activity among women has
translated into a reduction in poverty by about 30 percent
and has helped insulate their households from the recent
financial shocks. We need to address our blind spots. We
need to draw more attention to the major constraints for women and girls that are right in
front of us. Discrimination and prejudice destroy economic opportunity. He reminds us that Malala Yousafzai started a social movement around education for girls first
in Pakistan, and then around the world.
If we can even
begin to move together with that kind of resolve,
the world will be more peaceful, more prosperous, more just and worthy
of the mothers who gave birth to us. |
