The discussion highlighted the specific needs of women and girls and the tools that stakeholders can rely on. The event highlighted the leadership, agency and voice of women, disabled, veteran, lesbian and young women, and explore how they can shape an inclusive recovery that embeds values of human capital resilience, diversity and equality of opportunity. The importance of the private sector in promoting gender-equitable, inclusive and sustainable recovery, with human capital development at its center, was particularly emphasized.
