For International Day of the Girl Child, we asked IWF leaders to reflect on the future they hope to see for the next generation of girls.⁠
⁠
Looking back at themselves as young professionals, they shared one thing they hope every girl will be able to do, experience, or believe about herself.⁠
⁠
Over the next week, we’ll be sharing their reflections, exploring what it means to create opportunities for the next generation of women leaders.⁠
⁠
Their answers remind us that advancing women’s leadership is not only about the opportunities we create today, but also about catalyzing the leadership potential of young women around the world.⁠
