Event Overview

There are countries where women are barred from certain jobs simply because they are women, where there are no laws on sexual harassment in employment, and where husbands can get their wives fired from work. This webinar, in partnership with the World Bank Group, offers a deeper understanding of why legal gender equality matters.

The exclusive webinar looks at how legal and regulatory landscapes around the world limit women's economic participation, based on new data from the World Bank Report Women, Business, and the Law 2018.
