With only 55% of women in the labour force compared to 78% for men, there is a dire need for females to access economic opportunities, says First Lady Arya Ali.
The First Lady was speaking yesterday at the Caribbean Gender Empowerment Forum held at the Guyana Marriott Hotel, Georgetown where she emphasized the importance of girls and women having equal access to fundamentals like education, employment and finance.
The event hosted by the Atlantic Council and UN Women Caribbean in partnership with the European Union/ United Nations Spotlight Initiative weighed in on developing strategies for gender equality and empowerment in Guyana and the region.
