The development challenges facing @WBG_IDA countries – the world’s low-income countries – have rarely been so significant. And it could get even worse. But there are also reasons to be hopeful and turn things around. Let me explain:

On International Women’s Day—as on every other day—it’s worth reminding ourselves just how much is squandered when women are deprived of equal rights and opportunities. wbl.worldbank.org/en/reports #investinwomen #womenbizlaw #WomensDay
Delighted to see this outcome for Uzbekistan – great progress on reforms that make a difference to inclusive growth and development. #WomenBizLaw

How can we still tolerate the fact that women enjoy only 2/3 of the legal rights men have? Protection under the law should be the same for all. Legal reforms & their implementation are more essential than ever to #AccelerateEquality. wrld.bg/w4pJ50QM7M5 #WomenBizLaw
