Women being at the frontlines of #COVID19 was proof that our societies’ resilience is women-powered.

Thrilled to be at @Forum_4GC w/ Minister @elenabonetti, First Lady @njmasisi & Viceminister Nadia Abdalla to support gender-based policies & address the challenges we're facing!

Mayor @andy4wm had some revolutionary ideas on transforming the future of cities. How do you think these changes can be applied to cities around the world and is a #GreenTransition enough to combat #ClimateChange? At #F4GC we believe collaboration is key!
