Roma  ||  07 Aprile 2017

In occasione della Presidenza italiana del G7, si è svolto alla Farnesina, il 7 e 8 aprile 2017, il  Forum internazionale di dialogo "Starting from girls. Women Forum on inequality and sustainable growth", organizzato in collaborazione con WE-Women Empower the World, l’Aspen Initiative for Europe e Valore D.

“Rafforzare diritti e capacità delle giovani donne è una condizione indispensabile per farne agenti del cambiamento. Superare il gap di genere è fondamentale per garantire processi inclusivi di crescita e sviluppo, in linea con le priorità della nostra Presidenza del G7”, queste le parole del ministro degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale, Angelino Alfano.

Il Forum si basa sulla convinzione che rafforzare diritti e capacità delle giovani donne sia una condizione indispensabile per farne agenti potenziali del cambiamento: il forum di dialogo punta a costruire un’alleanza internazionale sull’empowerment femminile, come tassello irrinunciabile di una crescita più equa e sostenibile. Verranno discusse una serie di proposte per il G7, volte a rafforzare l'apporto delle donne alla crescita economica, la loro partecipazione al mercato del lavoro, allo sviluppo tecnologico e alla sostenibilità. Un'attenzione specifica sarà anche dedicata ai  temi delle migrazioni - “women on the move” - e all'evoluzione della global care chain, con le relative implicazioni per la salute e i sistemi sanitari.
