According to McKinsey, $12 trillion can be added to the global GDP by 2025 if we advance women's equality. That's a reasonable scenario figure, where the "full potential scenario" (where 'women play an identical role in labor markets to that of men'), we could be looking at a number more like $28 trillion.

One of the ways we can forward this goal is to celebrate the female pioneers that are shaping industry, reinventing industry, and breaking through the ceiling of entrepreneurial success. If you're with the movement, please share this post with your friends.
