In advance of the G20 Leaders’ summit scheduled for June in Mexico, 21 young women representing the G20 nations and the African Union will gather in Mexico City for the third annual G(irls)20 Summit.

Launched in 2010 at the Clinton Global Initiative, the G(irls)20 Summit highlights ways in which girls and women can play a leading role in global economic development and progress and generates tangible, practical recommendations for the G20 leaders to act upon.

The Summit will feature an array of guest speakers from the realms of economics, business, not for profit organizations, foundations, communications and politics. 

The two key themes for this year's Summit will be the opportunity gained by empowering women in agriculture; and the opportunity lost as a result of violence against women. Workshops and field visits will provide for in-depth explorations of the two themes as well as a range of skills development.
