The BBVAMF Fosters Support for Vulnerable Women During the United Nations CSW 68

Latin American ministers and experts on women and development have shared solutions to speed up gender equality in an event organized by the BBVA Microfinance Foundation. Governments, civil society organizations, experts and activists from all over the globe gather to tackle and agree on actions that help end women’s poverty and advance towards gender equality. As of today, 10 percent of women worldwide, live in extreme poverty, with less that $2,15/day. With the aim of mitigating this reality, this year, the Commission on the Status of Women has celebrated its 68th edition.

It’s in this framework where the BBVA Microfinance Foundation (BBVAMF) organized the event “Gender-lens Financing & Innovating to End End Poverty” in collaboration with the Trust for the Americas and the Panamanian, Colombian and the Dominican Republic governments.
