The pandemic has worsened gender inequality, keeping girls and women out of school and work. Yet economic and financial policies can help empower women and girls, improving economies today and building resilience against future shocks.
IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva joins Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Melinda French Gates, Nigeria's Minister of Finance the Hon.

Lord Mark Malloch-Brown will moderate the discussion.
