As we commemorate International Women’s Month and Women’s Day on 8 March, we celebrate the women who choose to take on incredible challenges.
Here are six inspirational young female leaders who influence me and others around the world.
International Women’s Month is dedicated to the social, economic, political, cultural and scientific achievements of women and girls. In my work with the World Economic Forum’s communities of Young Global Leaders and Global Shapers, I am inspired every day by amazing women in our network: young female leaders who are driving the call for equitable and sustainable food systems, de-stigmatising mental health in developing countries, curbing the pandemic in vulnerable communities, raising awareness of the impacts of fast fashion, and a civic engagement leader who has defied all the odds.
