La Pietra Coalition

Our mission is to make the economic case for women’s empowerment and gender equality to decision-makers and society at large.

Working collaboratively — NGOs, academic institutions, corporations and global leaders — the Coalition will frame the message and launch initiatives that tap women’s potential as critical resources, thus leading to stronger economic growth for nations, communities and businesses around the world.

We’ve broken down our mission into five main policy issue areas: access to finance, education and training, entrepreneurship, labor policy and practice, and legal and social status.
