"W20 will work with engagement groups and working groups, in this case the government, to ensure women's empowerment and gender issues will be included in the G20 Declaration," Chair of Women W20 Hadriani Uli Silalahi stated during a webinar as seen from here on Wednesday.
Silalahi remarked that W20's mission was to push for a commitment to eradicate discrimination, promote the economic inclusion of women-owned MSMEs, increase access for rural and disabled women, and press for the integration of gender-just health services.
