In this powerful talk, entrepreneur and philanthropist Yann Borgstedt demonstrates the benefits of investing in girls and women. In 2005, Yann started the Womanity Foundation, which focuses on women's education, training and development in Afghanistan, Brazil, India, the West Bank, Israel and Morocco. Including the first radio exclusively for women in the Middle East called Radio NISSA FM. In a further evolution of the work in favour of women's progress, the WomenChangeMakers' program was launched in 2009 in order to identify and support social entrepreneurs with innovative solutions to women's advancement. The program was inspired by the Ashoka model, which Yann became familiar with over the past years, notably through his participation in the Ashoka Support Network in Switzerland and France where he works with the fellow Francois Marty on green social housing. Yann is on the board of the gender equality project a Swiss Foundation, working in partnership with the World Economic Forum, committed to creating a world where men and women are equally valued and respected in all aspects of economic, political and social life.
