An Evening with Joy Anderson: A Gender Lens in Investing

What would be possible if investment decisions incorporated a gender lens? What new opportunities would be imagined if gender were positively factored into how we move capital? And, if those with power and capital saw gender as an integral part of analyzing financial value, how would this shift the way women were valued, overall? Investing with a gender lens is about fundamental systems change. We envision a world in which analyzing gender when making an investment is as normative as, for example, assessing political stability or considering competition in an industry. It changes how financial markets value women and girls. By shifting the rules of financial markets we can reduce the insidious and entrenched gender inequity that diminishes the potential of the world’s women and girls and, subsequently, constrains the potential of our economies and our communities.
