Promoting female leadership in all areas
This global movement, organized by Vital Voices Global Partnership, takes place in more than 80 countries within the framework of International Women’s Day. Its purpose is to generate a meeting space where women and men walk and share experiences, thus promoting female leadership in all areas.
“This date is an opportune occasion to recognize the invaluable contribution of women to global progress. At the same time, it reminds us of the pending work to achieve real progress in women’s rights and, consequently, in the well-being of communities worldwide,” said Alexandra Kissling, president of Vital Voices Costa Rica.
